Book excerpt: Amedeo Modigliani's Rediscovered faces 93 93 portraits by Modigliani (Amedeo Clemente Modigliani) reflecting his diverse visual perspectives on friends and their stories. Amedeo Modigliani, an artist integral to the spirit and pulse of modern art through his depiction of human inner turmoil and soul. Where does the wellspring of his artistic inspiration lie? Born in Italy in the early 20th century and known as a French painter, Modigliani gained fame for his portraits characterized by elongated necks and slender limbs. Influenced by African primitive sculpture, he developed a distinctive style, portraying compassion for marginalized groups such as impoverished artists, people of the streets, and prostitutes. Primarily active as a portraitist and sculptor, he focused on the beauty of women, creating unique and beautiful forms. Combining influences from Italian Renaissance, Mannerist painting, and African sculpture, he presented original works. His life in Paris's Montparnasse and Montmartre played a crucial role in expanding the horizons of modern art. Modigliani nurtured creative inspiration through interactions with renowned artists like Picasso, Brancusi, Diego Rivera, and various literary figures across disciplines, finding his own artistic expression. Struggling with health issues in his thirties, he shifted his focus from sculpture to painting, constructing an original style influenced by various artistic movements. His works delicately expressed conflicts and melancholy stemming from alcohol and opium addiction, marking his artistic maturity. With a free-spirited and romantic nature, Modigliani also engaged in numerous romantic relationships, notably with Beatrice Hastings and Jeanne Hébuterne, reflecting both artistic passion and internal conflicts in his works. In his portrait of Russian sculptor Oscar Miestchaninoff, Modigliani portrayed a nearly oval face, conveying a sense of childhood through a whimsical posture and childlike attire. This book is a compilation of portrait works by Amedeo Modigliani, an artist who significantly influenced modern art with his unique style. It offers an opportunity to appreciate how his expressive capabilities were formed through his works and to broaden one's understanding of Modigliani's artistic progress and originality. By exploring the individuals Modigliani encountered and their artistic worlds, this book provides a deeper insight into Modigliani's artistic universe. It also includes concise and engaging stories about the lives and art of his friends who interacted with Modigliani and his works.

Book excerpt: Amedeo Modigliani stands as one of Italy's best-known painters and sculptors of the 20th century, posthumously renowned for his characteristic style and eccentric personality. Writing in the 1950s, Modigliani's daughter Jeanne was only a baby when her father died. Nevertheless, her interest in her father's short life resulted in this biography - the fruits of Jeanne's researches and conversations with those who remembered him are now considered valuable by art historians. We learn of the artist's early years in Italy, his journeys and work in France, his romances and excesses, and the challenges he faced selling his works. Though he had friends to lend him money when times were hard, Modigliani constantly grappled with poverty and illness. The final years of Modigliani's life saw his greatest yet most tragic romance, to the young art student Jeanne Hébuterne. A gifted painter in her own right, Jeanne fell in love with Modigliani and doted on him as his health faltered. When Modigliani expired from tuberculosis, Jeanne was inconsolable, and committed suicide two days later. It was not until the year 2000 that her artworks were showcased alongside her husband's, with the permission of her heirs. This biography includes more than 130 examples of the letters and artworks of Modigliani that the reader may appreciate and observe how his unique art progressed with the years.

Book excerpt: 'Bryan’s writing pops and zings like a Basquiat painting' – NOEL FIELDING In Bright Stars, Kate Bryan examines the lives and legacies of 30 great artists who died too young, celebrating their inspirational stories and extraordinary talent. Some of the world’s greatest and most-loved artists died under the age of forty. But how did they turn relatively short careers into such long legacies? What drove them to create, against all the odds? And how can we use these stories to re-evaluate artists lost to the shadows, or whose legacies are not yet secured? Most artists have decades to hone their craft, win over the critics and forge their reputation, but that’s not the case for the artists in this book. Art heavyweights Vincent van Gogh and Jean-Michel Basquiat have been mythologised, with their early deaths playing a key role in their posthumous fame. Others, such as Aubrey Beardsley and Noah Davis, were driven to create, knowing their time was limited. For some, premature death, compounded by gender and racial injustice, meant being left out of the history books – as was the case with Amrita Sher-Gil, Charlotte Salomon and Pauline Boty, now championed by Kate Bryan in this important re-appraisal. And, as Caravaggio and Vermeer’s stories show us, it can take centuries for forgotten artists to be given the recognition they truly deserve. With each artist comes a unique and often surprising story about how lives full of talent and tragedy were turned into brilliant legacies that still influence and inspire us today. This is a celebration of talent so great it shines on. Beautifully illustrated with portraits of the artists, as well as reproductions of some of their most famous works, this important and timely work makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the lives of some of the most talented artists throughout history. **************** 'Bryan’s writing pops and zings like a Basquiat painting – and reminds us why truly great artists are immortal.' –NOEL FIELDING 'Bright Stars is a compelling reflection on the concept of legacy. Bryan’s wide ranging assessment of artists we lost too soon proves that longevity in art is rewarded to the stars that burn the brightest, however fleeting their lives and careers.' – MARIA BALSHAW, DIRECTOR OF TATE 'Kate Bryan marshalls a wealth of fascinating detail about artists’s lives cut sadly short … and in sprightly prose brings their work vividly to life.' – JOAN BAKEWELL **************** The Artists Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Caravaggio, Dash Snow, Vincent van Gogh, Amedeo Modigliani, Francesca Woodman, Ana Mendieta, Félix González-Torres, Raphael, Yves Klein, Gordon Matta-Clark, Robert Mapplethorpe, Egon Schiele, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Amrita Sher-Gil, Johannes Vermeer, Robert Smithson, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Aubrey Beardsley, Noah Davis, Eva Hesse, Charlotte Salomon, Umberto Boccioni, Gerda Taro, Joanna Mary Boyce, Pauline Boty, Helen Chadwick, Khadija Saye, Bartholomew Beal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating study of Amedeo Modigliani's early drawings and how they reflect the artist's conception of identity One of the great artists of the 20th century, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) is celebrated for revolutionizing modern portraiture, particularly in his later paintings and sculpture. Modigliani Unmasked examines the artist's rarely seen early works on paper, offering revelatory insights into his artistic sensibilities and concerns as he developed his signature style of graceful, elongated figures. An Italian Sephardic Jew working in turn-of-the-century Paris, Modigliani embraced his status as an outsider, and his early drawings show a marked awareness of the role of ethnicity and race within society. Placing these drawings within the context of the artist's larger oeuvre, Mason Klein reveals how Modigliani's preoccupation with identity spurred the artist to reconceive the modern portrait, arguing that Modigliani ultimately came to think of identity as beyond national or cultural boundaries. Lavishly illustrated with the artist's paintings and over one hundred drawings collected by Dr. Paul Alexandre, Modigliani's close friend and first patron, this book provides an engaging and long overdue analysis of Modigliani's early body of work on paper.

In Bohemian Paris, Dan Franck leads us on a vivid and magical tour of the Paris of 1900–1930, a hotbed of artistic creation where we encounter Apollinaire, Modigliani, Cocteau, Matisse, Picasso, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald, working, loving, and struggling to stay afloat.

Marvelous and informative.” —Carol J. Binkowski, Library Journal
