About Hanging Hare

The artwork, titled “Hanging Hare,” was created by Chaim Soutine around 1923. Rendered in oil on canvas, it belongs to the Expressionism movement and is classified as a still-life genre. Currently, the piece resides in a private collection.

In this artwork, one observes a stark depiction of a hare suspended by its legs against a dark background. The hare is rendered in vigorous, textured strokes of amber, ochre, and brown hues, accentuating its lifeless, dangling form. Soutine’s dramatic use of color and brushwork conveys a visceral intensity, evoking a sense of raw, emotive energy that is characteristic of the Expressionist movement. The lighting and composition emphasize the harrowing and poignant subject matter, creating a powerful and evocative visual narrative.
