Red Houses by Chaim Soutine — Fine Art

Red Houses shows a group of buildings painted in a heavy paint style. The shapes lean over a rough ground, and the red tones run into the shapes of the roofs. Chaim Soutine worked the paint in thick layers, building the picture with fast strokes rather than smooth colour.

The fine art print comes ready to hang. The white frame gives this picture a clean edge on the wall, and the dark wood frame keeps the heavy paint feel close to the picture. Both finishes let the red shapes read plainly without changing the look of the image.

Hang it on a hallway wall where you pass by often. From a few paces away you notice the grouped roofs first, and the rough paint shows up when you stand near the picture.
