BASEL – The Kunstmuseum Basel opened the exhibit Chaim Soutine and Modernism through July 6. In comparison to the much more renowned work of friends and contemporaries, such as Amedeo Modigliani or Marc Chagall, Chaïm Soutine’s oeuvre still has an aura of discovery. In a representative survey at the Kunstmuseum Basel, a reassessment of Soutine’s position as a painter will be presented within the framework of the complex fabric of movements that marks 20th-century art.
