Amadeo Modigliani - Paintings
Amadeo Modigliani, whose only picture themes were portraits and nudes, was an important Italian painter, printmaker and sculptor of modern times.
Born on July 12, 1884 in Livorno.
Died on January 25, 1920 in Paris.
Amadeo Modigliani was an artist influenced by many styles. With his move to Paris in 1906, he learned to know the pre-cubist paintings of Picasso and Paul Cézanne whose influence is apparent in the representative portrait of "Paul Alexander" (1909). Modigliani's early work was also influenced by Fauvism, a style also the portrait of Diego Rivera can be categorized in. A year later, the artist found his own language of forms. Although it was highly stylized, it tried to cover its personal expression. His stylized, often elongated representations of people created a melancholic, lyrical impression on the viewer. Via sculpture, which he was introduced to him by C. Brancusi, Amadeo Modigliani tried to reach the ideal volume for his characters. For this purpose, African figures served as his guideline. From 1918, the painting style of the artist transformed into a weaker coloring and stronger emphasis of the line.		 Amadeo Modigliani
