Born of Jewish parents in the Italian coastal town of Leghorn, Amedeo Modigliani settled in Paris in 1906, where he developed friendships with Pablo Picasso , the poet Max Jacob, the sculptor Constantin Brancusi, and other members of the literary and artistic avant-garde, many of whom appear in his portraits. He led a notoriously bohemian life, shortened by a self-destructive use of alcohol and drugs. Modigliani produced his finest paintings between 1914 and his premature death in 1920. Within a limited range of subjects, mainly portraits and nudes, he developed a highly distinctive style of sensitively elongated forms. In this portrait, Modigliani’s emphasis is on a strong formal structure dominated by the grid in the background and the echoing curves of the sitter’s hat, shoulders, and features. There is none of the pathos often associated with his work. The artist seems instead to have invested this portrait with a note of ironic detachment, even humor, reflected in both the title of the painting (which refers to Madame de Pompadour, mistress of King Louis XV of France) and the expression of amused inscrutability worn by the sitter. Were painter and sitter perhaps both amused by the flamboyant hat? Modigliani’s skill in rhyming forms, while at the same time keeping us visually interested and slightly off-balance, is evident throughout the picture, which resonates with the lessons of Paul Cezanne, Cubism, and African sculpture. The sitter for this portrait may well have been Beatrice Hastings, an English poetess who was Modigliani’s mistress at the time. Because of the artist’s tendency to generalize his sitter’s features, however, a comparison of this portrait with others of Hastings is inconclusive.

Amedeo Modigliani, Madame Amédée (Woman with Cigarette), Italian, 1884 - 1920, 1918, oil on canvas, Chester Dale Collection
Portrait of Beatrice Hastings
Amedeo Modigliani
Italian, 1884–1920
Portrait of Beatrice Hastings, 1914
The thick application of paint in short, choppy strokes in this work betrays Amedeo Modigliani’s early association with the art of the Macchiaioli, a group of Italian artists who, like the French Impressionists, painted in colorful patches. The portrait is of the English writer, poet, and literary critic Beatrice Hastings, Modigliani’s partner between 1914 and 1916. The stylization of her features—elongated nose, almond shaped eyes, long neck, and sensual orange-red coloring—is characteristic of Modigliani’s distinctive style. Hastings and Modigliani met in Paris through friends. Modigliani painted Hastings fourteen times during their two-year relationship.

Shaheen Collection of French Works
high.org/exhibition/permanent-collection-installation-sha...
Through the generosity of numerous collectors, benefactors, and supporters, the High Museum has assembled a distinguished collection of European art ranging in date from the fourteenth through twentieth centuries. The collection of paintings displayed in this installation represent the accomplishment of Doris and Shouky Shaheen. Collected over a span of four decades, these works were presented as a gift to the High Museum in 2019.
The Doris and Shouky Shaheen Collection focuses on French art of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Within this timeframe, the paintings represent an array of styles, including the pre-Impressionist realism of Eugène Boudin’s harbor views, the shimmering Impressionism of Claude Monet’s and Camille Pissarro’s landscapes, and the expressive modernism of Amedeo Modigliani’s and Henri Matisse’s figure studies.
Atlantans long have benefited from the Shaheens’ strong philanthropic spirit in the form of important gifts to numerous institutions across the city. The gift of their remarkable collection of French masterworks will forever enrich the lives of all those who visit the High Museum.
These works by French masters are must-sees for lovers of Impressionism and French painting traditions.
At the end of November, 24 French artworks went on view for the first time at the High Museum of Art. The Shaheen collection was recently gifted to the High by philanthropists Doris and Shouky Shaheen.
For the past 50 years, the Shaheens have been collecting art. “It’s been a great blessing of our life together to build this collection and live with these incredible works,” said the Shaheens.
“Given our love for this collection, and our love for this city, we knew the High was the best home for these paintings. We’re thrilled that Atlantans will enjoy them for generations to come.”

Italian-Jewish artist Amadeo Modigliani died on 24th Jan. 1920 (aged 34) of tubercular meningitis, exacerbated by the effects of alcohol and drugs. His epitaph reads: "Struck down by death at the moment of glory".
His then partner Jeanne Hebiterne (aged 22) was so distraught that two days later she took her own life and that of their unborn second child.
Her epitaph reads: "Of Amadeo Modigliani devoted companion to the extreme sacrifice".
Their first child Jeanne (1918-1984)survived to write the biography of her father "Modigliani, man and Myth".
