Summary

Modigliani (1884-1920), a painter who didn’t find much happiness in his native Italy, managed only to find sorrow in France. From this unhappiness was born an original style of painting, influenced by African art, Cubism, and nights of drinking in Montparnasse.
His female nudes, with their profound sensuality, aggressive nudity, and enigmatic faces, express the suffering and lack of recognition of Modigliano.
He died at the age of 36. This book is made up of paintings which created scandals in their day, but which nowadays are considered inoffensive.
Available since: 04/11/2018.
