In endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920)
traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art
history. His languid female subjects are as instantly recognizable
as they are startling, sensual, and swan-necked. Modigliani's
unique figuration corresponded to his own personal idea of beauty,
but drew upon a rich variety of visual influences, including
contemporary Cubism, African carvings, Cambodian sculptures, and
13th-century painting from his native Italy. Although most renowned
for his nude females, he applied similar stylistic techniques to
portraits of male artistic contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso,
Jean Cocteau, and Chaim Soutine. With key works from his highly
individualistic repertoire, this book introduces Modigliani's brief
but revered career at the heart of Paris's early modernist hotbed.
