Huile sur toile, 82 x 60 cm, 1917, Tate modern, Londres.
Au moment où Modigliani a peint ce portrait, son style distinctif de représentation de la figure est bien développé. Le cou allongé et les traits stylisés de cette femme incarnent sa vision personnelle de la beauté. Celle-ci illustre son intérêt pour les Arts alors considérés comme Primitifs, notamment les sculptures africaines et cambodgiennes, ainsi que les peintures et sculptures du XIIIème siècle de son Italie natale. Invité par son ami Gino Severini à rejoindre le mouvement artistique futuriste qui célébrait le dynamisme de la vie moderne, il préfère plutôt poursuivre son propre développement artistique (cf. Tate modern).

this was for a painting class at palomar college. The assignment was to do an interpretation of one artist's work more or less in the style of another artist. I did Mona Lisa in the Style of Modigliani. Originally, my solution did not have the dragon in the background. My prof would not be satisfied until I put a contemporary reference in, he wanted a condensation stream or a CocaCola logo.... eew. I put the dragon and told my teacher that it was flash art from a tattoo shop and Mona's secret was she had this image inked permanently on her thigh. I was gonna paint over it after I got my grade but here I leaned that I think it's bad luck to paint over dragons. Anyway this is a painting that was for me so much fun and the teals and turquoises were just so juicy and yummy to work with.

Modigliani was born into a Jewish family of merchants. As a child he suffered from pleurisy and typhus, which prevented him from receiving a conventional education. In 1898 he began to study painting. After a brief stay in Florence in 1902, he continued his artistic studies in Venice, remaining there until the winter of 1906, when he left for Paris. His early admiration for Italian Renaissance painting—especially that of Siena—was to last throughout his life. In Paris Modigliani became interested in the Post-Impressionist paintings of Paul Cézanne. His initial important contacts were with the poets André Salmon and Max Jacob, with the artist Pablo Picasso, and—in 1907—with Paul Alexandre, a friend of many avant-garde artists and the first to become interested in Modigliani and to buy his works. In 1908 the artist exhibited five or six paintings at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1909 Modigliani met the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, on whose advice he seriously studied African sculpture. To prepare himself for creating his own sculpture, he intensified his graphic experiments. In his drawings Modigliani tried to give the function of limiting or enclosing volumes to his contours. In 1912 he exhibited at the Salon d’Automne eight stone heads whose elongated and simplified forms reflect the influence of African sculpture. Modigliani returned entirely to painting about 1915, but his experience as a sculptor had fundamental consequences for his painting style. The characteristics of Modigliani’s sculptured heads—long necks and noses, simplified features, and long oval faces—became typical of his paintings. He reduced and almost eliminated chiaroscuro (the use of gradations of light and shadow to achieve the illusion of three-dimensionality), and he achieved a sense of solidity with strong contours and the richness of juxtaposed colors.
The outbreak of World War I in 1914 increased the difficulties of Modigliani’s life. Alexandre and some of his other friends were at the front, his paintings did not sell, and his already delicate health was deteriorating because of his poverty, feverish work ethic, and abuse of alcohol and drugs. He was in the midst of a troubled affair with the South African poet Beatrice Hastings, with whom he lived for two years, from 1914 to 1916. He was assisted, however, by the art dealer Paul Guillaume and especially by the Polish poet Leopold Zborowski, who bought or helped him to sell a few paintings and drawings.
Modigliani was not a professional portraitist; for him the portrait was only an occasion to isolate a figure as a kind of sculptural relief through firm and expressive contour drawing. He painted his friends, usually personalities of the Parisian artistic and literary world (such as the artists Juan Gris and Jacques Lipchitz, the writer and artist Jean Cocteau, and the poet Max Jacob), but he also portrayed unknown people, including models, servants, and girls from the neighborhood. In 1917 he began painting a series of about 30 large female nudes that, with their warm, glowing colors and sensuous, rounded forms, are among his best works. In December of that year Berthe Weill organized a solo show for him in her gallery, but the police judged the nudes indecent and had them removed.
In 1917 Modigliani began a love affair with the young painter Jeanne Hébuterne, with whom he went to live on the Côte d’Azur. Their daughter, Jeanne, was born in November 1918. His painting became increasingly refined in line and delicate in colour. A more tranquil life and the climate of the Mediterranean, however, did not restore the artist’s undermined health. After returning to Paris in May 1919, he became ill in January 1920; 10 days later he died of tubercular meningitis. Little-known outside avant-garde Parisian circles, Modigliani had seldom participated in official exhibitions. Fame came after his death, with a solo exhibition at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery in 1922 and later with a biography by André Salmon. For decades critical evaluations of Modigliani’s work were overshadowed by the dramatic story of his tragic life, but he is now acknowledged as one of the most significant and original artists of his time.

Copia del lienzo de Amedeo Modigliani, 1917
Óleo sobre lienzo, 55 x 50 cm.
El original está en la Staatsgalerie, en Stuttgart
Huile sur toile, 116 x 73 cm, 1918.
L'année 1917, lors de la création de la fragile et touchante Fillette en bleu, fut plutôt heureuse pour Amedeo Modigliani, ayant alors rencontré le principal amour de sa vie, Jeanne Hébuterne. Comme le peintre l'a lui-même affirmé, avant qu'elle ne vienne à lui en rêve, il vivait l'anticipation de cette rencontre dans la réalité. En regardant cette fillette, nous en apprenons en fait beaucoup sur le personnage de Jeanne. Elle était douce et silencieuse, essayant de ne pas distraire Modi de son travail, se distinguant par la timidité et la grâce dans tout ce qu'elle faisait. Comment est-il possible que se soient réunies des personnes si différentes, une jeune et agréable beauté issue d'une bonne famille et un artiste mature et énergique ? Pendant deux ans de vie tranquille avec Zhanna, entouré de soins, le peintre a créé plus de 100 toiles.
L'une de ses peintures les plus percutantes représente en robe bleue une jeune héroïne au visage charmant et rougissant, la petite bouche donnant à l'image un aspect austère, mais les mèches de cheveux désobéissantes la rende moins sévère. Aux pieds de la fille, des mi-bas noirs font écho aux cheveux, le reste de la couleur se concentrant à la fois sur le bleu, le froid et la douceur. Les vêtements de l'héroïne notamment le col en dentelle, les murs et les yeux bleus sans fond semblent absorber le spectateur jusque dans leurs profondeurs. Le mur derrière le dos de la jeune fille n'est pas monochrome, mais fleuri avec des taches jaunes chaudes, réalisant un jeu de texture coloré. Le jeu compositionnel de Modigliani se remarque par l’angle clairement décalé de l’image derrière le dos de la fillette, mouvement apportant du mystère à la toile.
Nous ne savons pas qui est cette belle inconnue, un petit ange ou une vraie fille, un fruit de la fantaisie de Modigliani ou la quintessence des caractéristiques de Jeanne, sa bien-aimée. Si le mystère subsiste, deux ans plus tard Modigliani mourut et affichant une volonté et une inflexibilité très éloignées de l'image d'une fille vulnérable en bleu, Jeanne quitta la vie volontairement, incapable de respirer, de vivre sans son génie ambitieux et controversé (cf. thepvaaartplace.net).
Born to a once-prosperous Jewish merchant family in Italy, Amedeo Modigliani grew up in a cultured but financially strained environment in Livorno. A severe bout of pleurisy ended his formal schooling at age fourteen, and he was plagued by poor health for the rest of his short life; he died of tuberculosis at age thirty-five. From 1902 to 1906, Modigliani studied painting with the Italian artist Guglielmo Micheli (a proponent of plein-air painting) and visited Capri, Naples, Florence, Venice, and Rome. In 1906, he moved permanently to Paris, where he frequented artists' gatherings and became friends with other expatriate artists living in France, such as Chaim Soutine and Moïse Kisling. Modigliani was a prolific artist, producing some 420 paintings, innumerable drawings, and 31 sculptures between 1906 and 1920.
The artist is best known for the works created in Paris between 1915 and 1919—portraits, in which a few telling details achieve a striking likeness, and nudes. His celebrated series of nude reclining women, begun in 1916, continues the tradition of depictions of Venuses from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, but with one significant difference: the eroticism of the earlier figures is always couched in a mythological or anecdotal context, whereas Modigliani dispenses with this pretext. Consequently, his women appear unabashedly frank and provocative. The two dozen or so figures in the series—never his mistresses or friends but always professional models—lie on a dark bed cover that accentuates the glow of their skin; they are seen close-up and usually from above. Their stylized bodies span the entire width of the canvas, and their hands and feet often remain outside the picture frame. Sometimes asleep, they most often face the viewer, as does this gracefully built model in one of the artist's most famous paintings of the series.
This striking nude is one of several painted by Amedeo Modigliani between 1916 and 1917. Beyond the reclining figure’s apparent gracefulness and tranquillity, the painting still retains some of its original provocation. Like Paul Gauguin, whose work he admired, Modigliani incorporated stylistic elements taken from cultures outside Europe. The woman’s elongated head echoes the Egyptian, African and Oceanic sculptures he had studied at the ethnographic museum in Paris. This approach challenged the Western tradition of ideal beauty. The model’s flushed face, scratched-out strands of hair and the raw brushwork also went against convention by heightening her sensuality. The depiction of pubic hair was shocking at the time. Police even closed a 1917 exhibition of Modigliani’s nudes at a commercial gallery in Paris on the grounds of indecency.

Modigliani’s celebrated series of reclining nudes, begun in 1916, are influenced by Italian Renaissance representations of Venus and other idealized female figures. In this painting from 1917, the model’s stylized, outlined body spans the entire canvas; viewed close-up and from above, her hands and feet disappear outside the frame as her creamy skin glows against the dark red bed or couch. Unlike depictions of Venus from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, in which mythological or allegorical attributes provide a context for the figure’s nudity, Modigliani provocatively presents his Reclining Nude without any such references, highlighting the figure’s eroticism.

Portrait of the Painter Frank Haviland
c. 1914, Oil on board
Gianni Mattioli Collection
Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice
This vivid portrait, painted in Paris in the second half of 1914, marks Amedeo Modigliani’s return to painting after a period of five years dedicated to sculpture. The sitter, Frank Burty Haviland, was a wealthy English amateur: a poet, a collector of African art, and a painter of small talent, who occupied a large studio near to Picasso’s and was known disparagingly to his friends as “Le Riche.”
