'''Chaïm Soutine''' ({{IPA|fr|ʃaim sutin|lang}}; {{langx|ru|Хаим Соломонович Сутин|Khaim Solomonovich Sutin}}; {{langx|yi|חײם סוטין|Chaim Sutin}}; 13 January 1893 – 9 August 1943) was a [[France|French]] painter of [[Belarusian-Jewish]] origin of the [[School of Paris]], who made a major contribution to the [[Expressionist]] movement while living and working in [[Paris]].<ref>[http://www.getty.edu/vow/ULANFullDisplay?find=soutine&role=&nation=&prev_page=1&subjectid=500004801 Getty Research Institute: Union List of Artist Names Online].

Inspired by classic painting in the European tradition, exemplified by the works of [[Rembrandt]], [[Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin|Chardin]]<ref>Kleeblatt, 13</ref> and [[Gustave Courbet|Courbet]], Soutine developed an individual style more concerned with shape, color, and texture than representation, which served as a bridge between more traditional approaches and the developing form of [[Abstract Expressionism]].
