Amedeo Modigliani's work is recognized immediately by many people because of the typical elongated shapes. His paintings show his passion for sculpting, a craft which he had to give up in 1915 due to ill health. He was born in the Tuscan town of Livorno and received his academic education in Florence and Venice. In 1906 he established himself in the famous Montmartre area in Paris, where his talent was instantly recognized by the East European avant-garde. He had a short and eventful artistic life (1884-1920), he was extremely driven and longed for recognition. But his life was also marked by alcoholism, metaphysical fears and progressive tuberculosis. At the age of forty, Modigliani left the world an oeuvre that shows a sincere, obsessive search for truth and purity within art.

Modigliani Head
Encouraged to sculpt by Constantin Brancusi, Modigliani developed his own distinctive style. The elongated forms and simple linear features- eclectically borrowed from African and oceanic tribal masks, medieval carving and classical sculpture- show how for Modigliani the primitive could be decisively modern. Head has been described as an example of perfect resolution in his work, combining sacredness with spirituality. Licensed reproduction from the Tate Gallery in London after Modigliani's original sculpture from 1911-12. Made from resin, aged sienna finish, on a black base, and measures 25”H x 9”L. SOLD OUT TILL MAY

Modigliani Kariatide Sculpture
from Caryatid (1913). Kariatide (1913) In 1912, the art of sculpture seemed to have taken a heavy toll. Modigliani was completely exhausted by the heavy and dusty work. He was forced to devote his attentions once again to painting and was inspired by Chaim Soutine, his new neighbour. He was particularly impressed by the technique and definitive lines of this Lithuanian Impressionist. Modigliani chose the caryatid as the subject of his art on a number of occasions. Originally the Caryatid (Kariatide, 1913) was a pilaster in the form of a sculptured female figure, illustrating how sculpture continued to play a role in his paintings. Collectible quality, resin with hand-painted color details, matte and glossy finish. Modigliani signature on bottom. Dimensions : 5 3/4 in. x 3 3/4 in. x 2 3/8 in. MO05, $34
