Amedeo Modigliani - Nude 1917 Large Framed Print
Framed With Mat •
36x23 inches
Modigliani painted the human figure almost exclusively and created at least 26 reclining female nudes. In contrast, with his portraits Modigliani aimed to express the character of his sitter and to explore the inner person, invariably he depicted them in a shallow, confined space with their elongated, melancholic faces and almond-shaped eyes. Modigliani had a style of his own, displaying his fascination with the human form and physiognomy. The surfaces of the paintings were smooth and thinly painted, some almost sparsely so, permeated with a somber mood. |

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian Jewish painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by elongation of faces and figures, that were not received well during his lifetime, but later found acceptance. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance, until he moved to Paris in 1906. There he came into contact with prominent artists such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși.Modigliani's oeuvre includes paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, however, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. His main subject was portraits and full figures of humans, both in the images and in the sculptures. During his life, Amedeo Modigliani had little success, but after his death he achieved greater popularity and his works of art achieved high prices. He died at age 35 in Paris of tubercular meningitis.
