Soutine liked Cézanne’s work as well as Van Gogh’s. He never met either artist, but he borrowed ideas from them about how to paint. Like Van Gogh, but many years later, he studied with the artist Fernand Cormon.  

Look at Soutine’s brushstrokes. Are they thick like Cézanne and Van Gogh’s? Think about Cézanne’s painting of the mountain. Does this landscape look like that or is it more abstract (meaning it does not look as much like the real world)? Why or why not?
