Modigliani depicted his mistress, Jeanne Hebuterne ( 1898-1920), in more than twenty works but never in the nude. Her casual white chemise suggests modesty while also hiding her pregnancy. When Modigliani died from tuberculosis in 1920, Jeanne committed suicide the following day.

La Musée d'Art Moderne is a very fine museum of the City of Paris's art collection 1905-2013. It is not to be confused with the national collection at le Centre Georges Pompidou. Entry to the museum is free. When I was there, the special exhibition was the work of the New York subway artist Keith Haring (1958-90).

This painting utilizes a similar style to that of the previously posted "Portrait of Geri", albeit minus any pronounced Modigliani manifestations. Certainly, however, the influence of ecclesiastical stained-glass is most prominently present. Which is probably appropriate, given the subject matter. In contrast to my previous depiction of Saint Teresa's tryst with the arrow-wielding angel, this rendering of the same incident is executed in a lollypop palette of manic intensity. The saint's demeanour, with her panting mouth and head slumped sensuously backwards, again focuses on the carnal aspect of the encounter. The angel has been metamorphosed into a bent, blood-red beam of light.
This is the first painting I sold. I was working in a particularly gay-friendly environment at the time and, confronted with a starkly empty wall above my desk, thought it entirely appropriate to fill it with a painting of larger-than-life, high-camp imagery such as this. It appeared to be appreciated favourably by my predominantly female colleagues. When one of those same colleagues was given a promotion, meaning she would be leaving our office, she asked me if she could purchase the painting from me. As I have since lost contact with her, I am unable to reproduce a clearer image at this time. What appears here is a scan of a hardcopy photograph of the painting, taken for my records before it went to its new home.

Huile sur toile ,61 x 50 cm, 1915, Art Institute, Chicago.
Né de parents juifs dans la ville côtière italienne de Livourne, Amedeo Modigliani s'est installé à Paris en 1906, où il a développé de nombreuses amitiés avec Pablo Picasso, le poète Max Jacob, le sculpteur Constantin Brancusi et d'autres membres de l'avant-garde littéraire et artistique, dont beaucoup apparaissent dans ses portraits. Il a mené une vie notoirement bohème, écourtée par une consommation autodestructrice d'alcool et de drogues et produit ses plus belles peintures entre 1914 et sa mort prématurée en 1920. Dans une gamme limitée de sujets, principalement de portraits et de nus, il a développé un style très distinctif de formes allongées.
Dans ce portrait, Modigliani met l'accent sur une structure formelle forte, dominée par la grille en arrière-plan et les courbes en écho du chapeau, des épaules et des caractéristiques du modèle, sans aucun des pathos souvent associés à son travail. L'artiste semble au contraire l'avoir investi d'une note de détachement ironique, voire d'humour, reflétée à la fois par le titre du tableau (qui fait référence à Madame de Pompadour, maîtresse du roi français Louis XV) et l'expression d'insondabilité amusée du modèle portant ce chapeau flamboyant ? Son habileté faire rimer les formes, tout en nous gardant visuellement intéressés et légèrement déséquilibrés, est évidente, l'image résonnant avec les leçons de Paul Cézanne, le cubisme et la sculpture africaine.
La poétesse anglaise Béatrice Hastings était la maîtresse de Modigliani à l'époque. Mais la tendance de l'artiste à généraliser les traits de son modèle, amène à rendre la comparaison de ce portrait avec d'autres du même modèle n'est pas concluante (cf. Art Institute).
Ce portrait d'inspiration cubiste fut présenté dans une exposition en novembre 1916, alors que la liaison orageuse de Béatrice Hastings avec Modigliani était terminée. Mais cette dernière vint au vernissage escortée de son nouvel amant, le sculpteur Pina, ce qui eut le don d’exaspérer Modigliani. Ce portrait se détache avec la sobriété chromatique coutumière à l'artiste, avec trois tons en dehors du noir et du blanc sur un jeu de lignes croisées suffisant à suggérer le décor. Qualifié ironiquement par Modigliani de Madame Pompadour, le modèle est ici coiffée d’un chapeau à l’anglaise (cf. kerdonis).

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.
