Soutine’s Portraits: Cooks, Waiters & Bellboys 19 October 2017 – 21 January 2018


Very excited to see an exhibition of Soutine in the UK. This exhibition, held at The Courtauld Gallery from 19 October 2017 to 21 January 2018, brings together an outstanding group of portraits by Chaïm Soutine (1893-1943). Soutine was one of the leading painters in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s and was seen by many as the heir to Vincent van Gogh. This major exhibition is the first time he has been exhibited in the United Kingdom in 35 years.

Luc Tuymans  is not shy about admitting that he is easily one of the most influential figurative painters working today. His work - which often deals with heavy historical subjects like the Holocaust and postcolonial guilt - resists easy interpretation. So fans and the creatively curious alike will be delighted by the  Whitechapel Gallery 's launch of  On & By Luc Tuymans , a collection of Tuyman's writings (one of them is appropriately entitled, "I Still Don't Get It") on not only his own ideas and images, but those of El Greco, Giorgio Morandi, and Neo Rauch, to name a few.
