Amedeo Clemente Modigliani  ( 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian Jewish painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by elongation of faces and figures, that were not received well during his lifetime, but later found acceptance. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance, until he moved to Paris in 1906. There he came into contact with prominent artists such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. During his life, Amedeo Modigliani had little success, but after his death he achieved greater popularity and his works of art achieved high prices. He died at age 35 in Paris of tubercular meningitis. Wikipedia

Amedeo Modigliani (12. heinäkuuta 1884 Livorno – 24. tammikuuta 1920 Pariisi) oli italialainen taidemaalari ja kuvanveistäjä. Hänet tunnetaan muotokuvista ja naismalleja kuvaavista maalauksista, joissa on pidennettyjä ja soikeita muotoja. Surumielisten hahmojen silmät ovat usein mantelinmuotoiset. Maalauksille on ominaista herkkä viivankäyttö ja täyteläiset kuparinpunaiset, ruskeat, siniharmaat ja syvän vihreät värisävyt.  Monet teokset tunnistaa pitkulaisista, naamionkaltaisista kasvoista.  Wikipedia

Ateneumin taidemuseossa nähdään syksyllä 2016 Amedeo Modiglianin retrospektiivi, jossa on esillä lähes 200 Modiglianin teosta.
