Peinture: "Nu assis à la chemise", Amedeo Modigliani (1917)

 

"Il y voyait bien davantage encore que le portrait sublime d'une femme dont il connaissait la peau, les cuisses, les hanches, les joues pourpres et la bouche incarnat. Il y voyait ce qu'elle ne lui apporterait plus, ce qu'aucune ne lui offrirait plus, évidemment pas la caresse amoureuse, mais cette richesse intense, l'absolue complicité qui lie le peintre à son modèle. [...] Comme si Chloé posant pour Modigliani, lui avait donné quelque chose qu'il avait connu naguère et qu'il ne percevait plus. Il regardait cette toile comme il voyait le monde, et il voyait le monde comme s'il avait les yeux crevés."

 

>>> Dan Franck.......in: Nu couché (1998)

 

"He saw in it much more than the sublime portrait of a woman whose skin, thighs, hips, crimson cheeks and incarnate mouth he knew. He saw in it what she would never give him again, what no woman would ever offer him again, obviously not the caress of love, but that intense richness, the absolute complicity that binds the painter to his model. [...] It was as if Chloé, posing for Modigliani, had given him something he had once known but no longer perceived. He looked at this canvas as he saw the world, and he saw the world as if his eyes were gouged out."
