About Still life with Pheasant

“Still Life with Pheasant,” created in 1924 by Chaim Soutine, is a striking example of the Expressionist movement and belongs to the genre of still life. Currently housed in the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, France, this artwork showcases Soutine’s distinctive style and vivid use of color and form.

The artwork exudes a dramatic and dynamic energy, characteristic of Soutine’s Expressionist approach. It depicts a pheasant laid out with loose, almost chaotic brushstrokes that evoke a sense of movement and turmoil. The pheasant is surrounded by vibrant splashes of color, including rich reds, yellows, and greens, creating a striking contrast against the darker background. The composition is marked by a sense of fluidity and intensity, drawing the viewer’s eye across the canvas. Soutine’s choice of subject and his expressive technique imbue this still life with a sense of visceral realism, transforming a simple scene into a poignant and evocative work of art.
