About The Table

The artwork, entitled “The Table,” was created by Chaim Soutine circa 1919. It is an oil on canvas piece that belongs to the Expressionism movement and falls under the still life genre. This distinguished painting is currently housed in the Musée de l’Orangerie in Paris, France.

“The Table” presents a vivid and visceral depiction of a table cluttered with various objects. Dominated by a rich palette of reds, yellows, and greens, the painting features an apparent disarray of items, including what appears to be a dish, a kettle, and a variety of other utensils. The objects are depicted with vigorous brushstrokes and bold, dynamic colors, characteristic of Soutine’s expressionistic style. The overall composition conveys a sense of movement and energy, transforming a mundane scene into an intense, almost chaotic visual experience. The thick application of paint and the expressive distortion of forms emphasize the emotional intensity that Soutine aimed to evoke in his still lifes.
