Amedeo Modigliani

Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) is celebrated for his iconic portraits. His portraits often consists of mask-like faces and striking blue-eyes, which have become iconic works of the early 20th century. Modigliani was inspired by Existentialist philosophy and a rejection of his bourgeois childhood. He chose not to paint landscapes, like many of his contemporaries. Instead, using portraiture, he explored both his own psychology and that of his subjects. His subjects were typically fellow artists or lovers. Modigliani also painted highly sexualized female nudes that were daringly erotic.

His style is figurative but also highly expressive. His subjects are shown with quirks and asymmetries. The portraiture of Paul Cezanne, whose work Modigliani greatly admired. Modigliani befriended Pablo Picasso after moving to Paris in 1906, and like Picasso, he drew inspiration from art of so-called “primitive” cultures, his work often resembling African or Pre-Columbian statuary.
