Lot Essay

AS WIL GROHMANN HAS IDENTIFIED, "THE FURIOSO OF THE BRUSHSTROKES CONTINUES VAN GOGH OF THE LATE PERIOD, THE FAUVE INFLUENCE COMES LATER. BUT SOUTINE HAS LESS FAITH THAN THE DUTCHMAN. HE DOES NOT RIP UP THE SURFACE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUTH; HE PLOWS THROUGH NATURE LIKE ONE PURSUED. THE PROXIMITY OF THE ULTIMATE AND HIS FEAR OF IT MAKES SOUTINE FORGET THE FIRM GROUND OF REALITY." (W. GROHMANN, EXPRESSIONISTS, NEW YORK 1957).
