	Chaim Soutine came to Paris in 1913, where he lived humbly in a circle of other Jewish emigre artists, such as Chagall, Lipchitz, and Kisling. Soutine found his own personal expressive style of painting in 1918, was one of Modigliani's closest friends and greatest admirers. Modigliani is supposed to have said to Soutine: "Cezanne's figures, like most beautiful statues of antiquity, do not see. Mine, in contrast, do. They see even if I have not drawn their pupils. But like Cezanne's figures, they want to express nothing but a mute affirmation of life."
