This is an automatically translated description

Ralph Dutley has written a biography of one of the most powerful expressionist artists of the first half of the twentieth century, Chaim Sutin, carefully relying on the scanty memoirs of his contemporaries. Where documentary evidence was lacking, the author's empathy came to the rescue. The novel Sutin's Last Journey is a surprisingly poetic and touching story about the insatiable creative hunger, the golden Parisian bohemia of the 1920s, his friendship with Modigliani and his love for two women, as well as the highest price to be paid for the irresistible desire to paint. The book was published with the support of the Swiss cultural foundation Pro Helvetia.
