Chaïm Soutine — Painting Gallery of His Finest Works from 1913 to 1943
The works of Russian painter Chaim Soutine are filled with the voice of flesh, a cry of form and drama of color. He was one of the artists who broke the boundaries between impressionism and abstraction while remaining rooted in reality. His paintings carry lyricism and tension, making them not only artistic masterpieces but also stable investment assets.
Soutine’s method was to "see the world not with eyes, but with skin." He challenged traditional notions of portraiture, landscape and composition by working with butchers, dead animals and distorted perspectives. His brush trembled like a beating heart, yet spoke with the precision of genius.
We have selected over 200 paintings by Chaim Soutine for publication, based on several key reasons:
• Every genre he explored — from still lifes to portraits — reveals a unique approach to emotion and form
• His works appear more frequently at auctions, with prices steadily rising
• Soutine’s paintings invite viewers to witness the movement of matter, reflecting his ability to find poetry in pain and chaos.

The years 1913–1921 mark the formative period of Soutine’s style, when he lived in La Roche-Guyon, Paris and Belleville. These landscapes are defined by restless lines, intense palettes and inner drama — as if the city itself were gasping for breath on canvas.

Chaim Soutine – Still Lifes
Soutine’s still lifes are among the most iconic in art history. Works such as “Dead Ox”, “Still Life with Fish” and “Partridge and Gloves” are not just objects on a table — they’re symbols of life, death and passion. He didn’t paint things — he felt them.

Chaim Soutine — a volcano of expression in art
Chaim Soutine left behind a rich legacy that deeply influenced modern and abstract expressionist movements, especially American artists of the mid-20th century.
Anatoli Gostev was inspired by Chaim Soutine’s painting style, though he preferred cleaner forms. Here’s what Gostev once said:
Mad expressionism. So that it makes the viewer feel warmth or pain. That’s how Soutine painted. I read Ralph Dutli’s 'The Last Journey of Soutine' — painting, life and death all in one style. Poor, great Chaim...
— Anatoli Gostev (1946–2022)
Gostev's: an evaluation of the painting masterpieces of Soutine.
Evaluating the work of Chaim Soutine, relying on our own judgments and criteria, sense of taste, and the powerful emotional impact of the painting of an artist with an exceptionally complex destiny and inner world, we find it difficult to choose. One of the dynasty’s criteria states:
You are destined to live with the painting you acquire.
For being in the same space as Chaim’s paintings is like living on the edge of a volcanic crater. We have selected four works by Soutine—four “craters” that are not dangerous to emotional balance. Harmonious, beautiful, and carrying a deep emotional message of a unique artist, according to Gostev's:
Chaïм Soutine - The Road
1924, 65 × 81 cm
Chaïм Soutine - Les Platanes de la Place de la Liberté à Céret
1922, 66 × 54 cm
Chaïm Soutine - Nature Morte avec Citrons et Artichaut
1916, 65 × 54 cm
Chaïм Soutine - Le Chasseur de Chez Maxim's
1925, 82 × 75 cm
Legacy and Market Value of Chaim Soutine’s Work
Soutine’s fame came posthumously — after World War II. Early major exhibitions took place in Paris and New York, and today his works are displayed in museums from MoMA to Centre Pompidou. Despite much of his collection being abroad, his influence runs deep in Russian and European painting.
Today, Soutine’s works reach $28 million and beyond at top international auctions. His piece “Le Bœuf mort” (1925) sold for $34.8 million at Christie’s in 2018 — far exceeding its estimate.
Soutine’s artworks are gaining popularity on the global market. While he hasn't reached Kandinsky or Modigliani-level pricing yet, his legacy is being reevaluated. The “Portrait de femme dans un fauteuil rouge” (1925) went for $28.6 million at Sotheby’s, and “Still Life with Rayfish” (1924) set a new record at $27.6 million — proving that interest in his work is growing.
| Sale Date | Title | Price | Price Increase | Auction House | City |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018-06-20 | Le Bœuf mort / Still Life with Dead Ox, 1925 | $34.8 млн | +34% vs $25.9 млн (estimate) | Christie’s | New York |
| 2022-11-15 | Portrait de femme dans un fauteuil rouge, 1925 | $28.6 млн | +26% vs $22.7 млн (estimate) | Sotheby’s | New York |
| 2015-02-05 | Still Life with Partridge and Gloves, 1926 | $21.4 млн | +32% vs $16.2 млн (estimate) | Christie’s | New York |
| 2020-02-27 | L’Homme au chapeau noir, 1924 | £18.1 млн (~$24.3 млн) | +28% vs £14.1 млн (estimate) | Sotheby’s | London |
| 2019-05-16 | La Femme au col roulé bleu, 1923 | $19.4 млн | +25% vs $15.5 млн (estimate) | Christie’s | New York |
Evaluating an artist’s potential — including investment value — depends on many factors. In Soutine’s case: rarity, historical significance, museum presence and growing market interest. Below, you’ll find paintings worth your financial trust. Gostev was the last Russian artist to absorb the experience of the greats and leave a mark across Europe.
