Soutine / de Kooning: Conversations in Paint considers how Soutine's work, with its built-up surfaces and energetic brushwork, had a decisive impact on the development of de Kooning's art, especially following Soutine's celebrated posthumous retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in 1950. The expressive force of Soutine's paintings, coupled with his image as a struggling bohemian artist living in Paris during the interwar years, imparted a particular influence on a new generation of postwar painters in the United States. In 1977, when asked about the artists who had most influenced him, de Kooning declared: "I think I would choose Soutine . . . I've always been crazy about Soutine-all of his paintings." De Kooning, more than any other artist of his generation, understood the tension between the opposing poles in Soutine's work: a search for structure with a passionate connection to art history, and a pronounced tendency toward the formless. De Kooning was the only abstract expressionist who continued to praise Soutine throughout his career and to credit him with being important for the development of his own work.
