Modigliani

The work retraces the life of one of the greatest geniuses of twentieth-century painting, Amedeo Modigliani, who died prematurely at just thirty-five after a life devoted to creation, beauty and art, yet marked by utter poverty, fragile health, turbulent loves, addictions and excess.

Paris, the beating heart of modern European art, was the cradle of the works that made Modigliani famous. His style, characterised by elongated and stylised human figures, with particular attention to portraits, made him unique in the artistic landscape. Fluid lines, minimal use of colour and an extraordinary emphasis on the eyes and faces of his subjects defined his aesthetics.

An unconventional and solitary artist, Amedeo Modigliani developed an unmistakable style, producing paintings that depict close-ups of stylised human figures enriched by intense tones. His deep stylistic research, far from the fashions of the time, succeeded in harmonising rounded lines with a singularly bold use of colour.
