Chaim Soutine, Portrait of a Man with a Felt Hat, c. 1921–22. Private Collection
A battle of the best! Two of the best modernist painters—that is. New York’s Helly Nahmad Gallery has done what most museums could have only considered doing but would currently find financially difficult to mount: a comparative exhibition of the paintings of Chaim Soutine and Francis Bacon. Although Bacon is the better known of the two artists today, Soutine’s acknowledged influence on him and a whole generation of figurative and expressionistic painters in England in the 1950s—including Lucien Freud, Leon Kossoff, and Frank Auerbach—as well as Willem de Kooning and others in the States, is well documented. Even though Bacon later tried to distance himself from Soutine, as Damien Hirst recently stated, “Without Soutine, there is no Bacon.”
