About Child in Pink

The artwork “Child in Pink” was created by Chaim Soutine in the year 1937. This portrait is a significant piece within the Expressionism movement, which is characterized by the manifestation of emotional experience rather than physical reality. The genre of this artwork is portraiture.

The artwork presents an impressionistic and vividly colored depiction of a child wearing a pink garment. The child’s form is rendered with bold and expressive brushstrokes, highlighting Soutine’s mastery of capturing raw emotion and intensity. The background, characterized by dark, deep hues, contrasts strikingly with the vibrant, almost chaotic application of paint on the child’s figure. The child’s features are discernible yet abstracted, suggesting a deeper emotional or psychological portrayal rather than a mere physical likeness. The painting evokes a sense of dynamism and turmoil, adhering to the principles of the Expressionist movement, where the focus is on evoking an emotional response from the viewer through distortion and vivid coloring.
