A flayed rabbit lies splayed on a white cloth, its clouded eye just visible. Soutine has given us a bird's-eye view of its innards and musculoskeletal system and—perhaps most affectingly—of its furry hind feet, still intact, that preserve the memory of the living, hopping animal. Here, Soutine transformed his studies of Old Master still lives (particularly by Rembrandt, albeit enhanced with new material from local butchers) into a suffocating, visionary realism.
Tune in as Barnes Art Team educator Michael Williamson offers his own perspective on this arresting painting.

||About The Barnes Foundation||
The mission of the Barnes is to promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture. Our founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, believed that art had the power to improve minds and transform lives. Our diverse educational programs are based on his teachings and one-of-a-kind collections. Philadelphia art collector Albert C. Barnes (1872–1951) chartered the Barnes Foundation in 1922 to teach people from all walks of life how to look at art. Over three decades, he collected some of the world’s most important impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, including works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. He displayed them alongside African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork. Learn more: [ Ссылка ]
