Modigliani
Author(s): Nancy Ireson (Editor); Simonetta Fraquelli (Editor)
Born in Livorno, Italy, and working in Paris from 1906, Modigliani was underappreciated in his lifetime but has come to be regarded as one of the most influential figures of early modernism. This richly illustrated volume will present the artist in a new light, moving beyond the historical tendency to interpret his work through the lens of his biography to convey the sheer breadth and depth of his formal and stylistic experimentation. Six essays explore various angles from which his work and artistic persona can be understood, connecting Modigliani with contemporary practice in the Bohemian quarter of Montparnasse as well as with the wider visual culture in early-twentieth-century Paris. An important contribution to the field, this unprecedented collection of works will appeal to all those captivated by this modernist master.
