Modigliani's famed style includes elongated female nudes, incorporating elements from diverse sources such as Cubism, African art, Cambodian sculpture, and medieval Italian painting. His personal concept of beauty is reflected in his unique figuration.

Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920), a renowned artist and expert in female form, immortalized elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his name in art history through endless odes. His distinct style, characterized by languid, sensual female subjects with swan-like necks, is both recognizable and captivating.

Modigliani's figuration was uniquely informed by his personal concept of beauty, drawing inspiration from various visual sources such as contemporary Cubism, African carvings, Cambodian sculptures, and 13th-century Italian painting. While he is best known for his depictions of nude females, he also applied similar stylistic elements in portraying his male artistic contemporaries, including Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Chaïm Soutine.

Learn about the brief but highly respected career of Modigliani in Paris's early modernist art scene through this book, featuring key works from his unique repertoire.

About the Artist

Amedeo Modigliani

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (1884 – 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought-after. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși.
