This is an automatically translated description

Ralph Dutley has written a biography of one of the most powerful expressionist painters of the first half of the twentieth century, Chaim Soutine, carefully relying on the scanty memoirs of his contemporaries. Where there was not enough documentary evidence, the author's empathy came to the rescue.

The novel Sutin's Last Journey is a surprisingly poetic and touching story about insatiable creative hunger, the golden Parisian bohemia of the 1920s, friendship with Modigliani and love for two women, as well as the highest price to be paid for an irresistible desire to paint.
