Abstract

This work explores how artistic desire manifests itself in Chaim Soutine through carcass paintings. Soutine, lived between 1893-1943, and he is considered the pioneer of abstract expressionism with his paintings which he produced in Paris. He was obsessed with the influence of Rembrandt's "Slaughtered Ox" painting at the Louvre Museum. The theme in this study seeks an answer to the question of how the intense deformity seen in Soutine's paintings and the creative desire that causes him to attack the canvas with a brush can be observed with intense physical pain and spiritual traumas and how can it be grasped in that clarity where the truth is opened by exceeding the level of representation. In addition, Francis Bacon and Damien Hirst, who continue the same theme in their works after Soutine, will examine where they left Soutine in their works using carcass and dead animals and how they instrumentalize this theme at the level of representation.
