Review of Soutine by Rick Mullin
Soutine
by Rick Mullin
Dos Madres Press, 2012
Rick Mullin's narrative poem Soutine (Dos Madres Press, 2012) is a powerful portrait of a painter who inspired the author's journey from journalist to painter and poet. The book unfolds in formal verse that is delightful, funny, and poignant as it describes Chaim Soutine's own journey from rabbi's son in Russia to Modigliani's friend in bohemian Paris. So many moments remain embedded in me, as the artist, his friends, and the narrator confront intense losses and struggles, but in this crucible art is born.
