Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Poetry. Rick Mullin's SOUTINE is a multilayered marvel of a book. Its two protagonists are the Jewish expressionist painter, Cha m Soutine, and the author himself, also an artist, but one who has had to make more common compromises with the world. These partial biographies are turned for us in the liveliest terza rima you are likely to find in contemporary poetry, rhyme rich, playful and tragic almost in the same breath. More than a meditation on art and ambition, SOUTINE celebrates both painting and poetry, while lamenting the limits on our lives. Mullin uses words with such color and plasticity, such concern for the joys and failures of the flesh, that his poem feels like a world remade--or nearly so--against the most terrible odds. Read this book for its verbal panache, its knowledge of painterly technique, but most of all for its unvarnished engagement with life.--David Mason.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - One of the advantages poetry has in telling a story is its cinematographic quality-its reliance on imagery and a creative interpretation of events. Meetings and dialogue included in Soutine are created on the basis of biographical sources such as those listed below. While I have accorded myself a great deal of what might be called, in the best sense, poetic license, few scenes are entirely imagined, and these tend to take place in bedrooms. The book is finally my depiction of the artist's experience as I interpret and intuit it from his work and from the small spread of biographical sketches available in English, from letters, and from photographs. In essence, I present my experience of Soutine.I hope the reader of Soutine will also have a book of his paintings at hand as a reference. The Taschen catalogue raisonné, with essays by Maurice Tuchman, Esti Dunow, and Klaus Perls, is the most comprehensive. Rick Mullin, October 31, 2011Here the mystery of the greatest painting shines forth, flesh more like flesh than flesh itself, nerves more like nerves than nerves, even if they are painted with streams of rubies, with sulfur on fire, droplets of turquoise, emerald lakes crushed with sapphires, streaks of purple and pearl, a palpitation of silver that quivers and shines, a wondrous flame that wrings matter to its depths after having smelted all the jewels of its mines.-Elie FaureThis painter of genius came from a society in which there was not simply no background of painting but a positive hostility to painting, so that painting for him was not just a luxury but a forbidden fruit.-David Sylvester.…
