This
head, carved from stone, shows instantly Modigliani's fascination with the
classical African and Etruscan sculptures. The classical caryatids with their
balanced direct lining and their modest beauty inspired him. His later
paintings show again elongated shapes and joyful eyes which evoke the poetic
atmosphere of early Italian Gothic. Statue replica is from the highly
collectible Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection.
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 died and left the world a body of work that shows a sincere, obsessive search for
truth and purity within art.
