Opening at Hastings Contemporary on 1 April 2023 (until 24 September), Soutine / Kossoff pairs two major figures of 20th-century painting. Soutine / Kossoff presented at Hastings Contemporary is the first ever museum exhibition to explore the artistic relationship between British artist Leon Kossoff (1926-2019) and Belarus-born painter Chaim Soutine (1893-1943).
Undertaken with the full support of the Kossoff estate, this amazing show brings together around 40 important loans from public and private collections in the UK, USA and beyond. Aside from Soutine Portraits (Courtauld, 2017) at around 20 works, this is the largest group of Soutines shown together in UK since 1982, and the first since then to include both portraits and landscapes. Don’t miss it.
