1918, Amedeo Modigliani, Young Woman of the People -- Los Angeles County Museum of Art
From the museum label: By the time Amedeo Modigliani painted this portrait, he had developed his distinctive style of representing the figure. Here, the young woman's elongated face and stylized features demonstrate the artist's interest in a range of art, including African carvings and Cambodian sculptures as well as thirteenth-century paintings and sculptures from his native Italy, all of which he would have been able to view in Paris. The sitter is most likely Germaine Labaye, an aspiring painter and close friend of Jeanne Hebuterne, Modigliani's partner and frequent model.
