Synopsis

Famous for his elongated forms, graceful portraits and lush nudes, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) is among the most loved of the extraordinary group of international artists who lived in Montparnasse in the early 20th century. Accompanying the first major Modigliani exhibition in the US in over 40 years, the book moves beyond the romantic myths that have sprung up around the artist's tragically brief life, aiming to provide a fuller, richer understanding of his art as well as the role of Montparnasse in the development of modern art. In addition to 64 paintings, sculptures and drawings by Modigliani, the volume features works by other Montparnasse artists such as Brancusi, de Chirico, Soutine and Picasso. The book also includes excerpts from a novelette written by one of Modigliani's lovers about their experiences together. This volume provides a serious examination of Modigliani's work with fresh documentation.
