ATTRIBUTED TO CHAIM SOUTINE FRENCH EXPRESSIONIST CITYSCAPE - An atmospheric French Expressionist oil on canvas Attributed to Chaim Soutine (1893–1943). The composition depicts a distorted, moody cityscape—characteristic of Soutine's celebrated landscapes from the South of France—rendered with turbulent brushwork, thick impasto, and a somber, earthen palette. The buildings lean precariously over a narrow street under a stormy sky, embodying the ”angst” and psychological intensity that defined the School of Paris. The work is signed ”Soutine” in red pigment in the lower right. Significantly, the reverse bears a label from the Victoria & Albert Museum (Department of Education & Science), suggesting a history of exhibition or loan within the museum's educational circulation department. school of paris, jewish artist, cagnes sur mer, ceret, heavy impasto, russian french, modernism, ecole de paris, museum provenance, vintage oil, distorted perspective, 1920s style.
