Synopsis :

A book which presents 450 drawings by Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), which have not previously been published or exhibited. The drawings were purchased and collected by the French physician Paul Alexandre, who, shortly after Modigliani's arrival in Paris in 1906, became the artist's closest friend, doctor and only patron, regularly buying drawings. Dr. Alexandre, who died in 1968, always intended to write a book about the artist to correct the myths regarding his premature death in 1920. In this book, his son, historian Noel Alexandre, has written a biography based on his father's memories and documents from his father's estate, including a 10-page letter from Modigliani's mother describing in detail her son's youth in Livorno.
