Velikani likovne umjetnosti #29: Amadeo Modigliani
Each book in Taschen's Basic Art series contains a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the artist's cultural and historical significance, approximately 100 color illustrations with explanations, and a brief biography.
To his contemporaries, Amedeo Modigliani was the very definition of Parisian bohemia, a controversial favorite and target of the popular press, and the model upon which many novels, plays, and films were based.
As an artist, the scandalous Modigliani was best known for his famous paintings of women with almond-shaped eyes and long necks and bodies. His style had ancient roots that lay deep in classical antiquity or Africa. But his portraits of the intellectual giants of the era, friends like Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Diego Rivera, were also inimitable. In Doris Krystof's study, the scene of which Modigliani was the hero comes to life, and his sensitive paintings and sculptures speak in tongues.
