Finished

Artists

Amedeo Modigliani
Amedeo Modigliani is known as a representative early twentieth century École de Paris artist who was active in the Montparnasse artist community. However, his interest in the simple rustic forms often seen in African and Southeast Asian art for inspiration is lesser known.
This exhibition introduces a wide variety of works that trace the development of his expression that is deeply rooted in primitism. The works begin with his early "Cariatid" series, rich in influences from primitism, and end with his unique portraits. Approximately 150 oil paintings and sketches are on display.
