After the war,Paul Guillaume,a highly influential art dealer,began to champion Soutine’s work.In 1923,in a showing arranged by Guillaume,the prominent American collector Albert C.Barnes bought 60 of Soutine’s paintings on the spot.Soutine,who had been virtually penniless in his years in Paris,immediately took the money,ran into the street,hailed a Paris taxi,and ordered the driver to take him to Nice,on the French Riviera,more than 400 miles away.
Soutine once horrified his neighbors by keeping an animal carcass in his studio so that he could paint it (Carcass of Beef).The smelly smell drove them to send for the police,whom Soutine promptly lectured on the relative importance of art over hygiene.There’s a story that Marc Chagall saw the blood from the carcass leak out onto the corridor outside Soutine’s room,and rushed out screaming,“Someone has killed Soutine.”
Soutine painted 10 works in this series,which have since become his most wellknown works.His carcass paintings were inspired by Rembrandt’s still life of the same subject,which he discovered while studying the Old Masters in the Louvre.Soutine produced the majority of his works from 1920 to 1929.

A.was the last but one child in his family
