Simonetta Fraquelli

Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) produced some of the most memorable art of the early twentieth century. Born in Livorno, Italy, and working in Paris from 1906, his career was tragically short but experimentation and innovation were consistent priorities. This ambitious new monograph is the most comprehensive book on the artist published to date, covering all aspects of Modigliani's brief yet seminal career. This book brings together Modigliani's paintings, sculptures and drawings alongside comparable works by his peers, such as Jacob Epstein and Paul Cézanne, as well as Brancusi and early Picasso. It connects Modigliani with contemporary practice in the bohemian quarter of Montparnasse as well as with wider visual culture in early twentieth-century Paris. All works from the exhibition will be stunningly reproduced in full colour, making this publication one of the most comprehensive surveys of Modigliani's work ever published. This book offers an insight into the artist's life and work from different perspectives and is a vital addition to the library of experts and newcomers alike.
