Unglaublich aber anscheinend wahr. Ich kann es noch nicht ganz fassen, aber mit diesen Bild wurde ich als Gewinner des Fotowettbewerbs „Deutschlands bester Fotograf 2011“ von SIGMA, AUDIO VIDEO FOTO BILD und computerbild.de ausgezeichnet. Dieses Gewinn möchte ich allen lieben Menschen widmen, die ich in meinem letzten Jahr in der Slowakei kennengelernt habe und die mich inspiriert haben.
Zur Entstehungsgeschichte des Bildes:
Dieses Bild entstand in meinen letzten Studienjahr in Bratislava, wo ich ein Jahr studierte, lebte, arbeite und meine Passion zur Fotografie auslebte.
Neben unseren Wohnheim befand sich eine kleine Vinothek mit einer sehr guten Auswahl an Weinen, in die ich ging, nachdem ich gerade wieder auf dem Weg ins Wohnheim war. Ich sah diesen Mann dort sitzen, weit über siebzig mit Gehhilfe, während er ein Glas Wein mit Schinken und Antipasti genoß. An der Wand hingen Kopien von Modigliani, die den Kontrast perfekt machten. Er sah glücklich und zufrieden aus, als ob er nicht nur auf sein Leben zurückblickte, sondern immer noch die Momente im Alter zu genießen weiß. Ich zögerte nicht lange und fragte ihn mit meinen Happen aus schlechtem slowakisch ob ich ein Foto machen dürfte und er willigte auch sofort ein. Er lachte und es schien als ob er sich wunderte, was der "Jungspund" mit seiner Kamera so interessant findet.
So drückte ich kurz ab und wir beide genoßen unseren Wein wieder.

this is a self portrait aiming towards the style of Modigliani. The photo reference is indeed a pic from my vacation in Corsica 16 years ago. The same trip from which the portrait of Benoit is referenced.
It was wonderful to see our continental members returning to the house party after a long absence caused by the pandemic. Genest once more had a table with examples of his work and had also provided the hand-cut stack of three identical 324pc jigsaws for the team speed competition (Mucha advert). I bought one of these three, Rob has the second and the third has become a library jigsaw. Another jigsaw on display was a hand painted 191pc tray-jigsaw of a herring gull.
On display he had two experimental jigsaws - his first in the technique of continuous cutting.
This one had been fully dissected, with the rear mazes painted in complementary colours Modigliani portrait of a young boy, 244pc.
The second had been left at the two interlocking maze stage. I was so overwhelmed with this jigsaw (flower still life, 263pc by Jan Brueghel, not Renoir) that I forgot to even photograph it! Genest said that it took immense concentration to cut that way and was very tiring.
I feel immensely privileged to be able to buy and commission jigsaws from our BCD cutters. Genest also brought many commissions for lucky BCD members, including myself, Penbleth, Frances & Pete.

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.
Assignment 46, Amadeo Modigliani.

I thought this would be a bit more simple than it was.. I struggled a bit with the look and with matching the colors in the painting. It is also hard to put my hair up, as I hardly have any!! :)
What I came up with does Modigliani no justice, but it was completey inspired by the painting none the less.

Legendary idol of the French cinema Gérard Philipe (1922–1959) was adored for his good looks, but he was also a very talented actor. He played roles as diverse as Faust and Modigliani and he was sought out by France's preeminent directors for his versatility and professionalism.

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.

The Musée de l'Orangerie is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings located in the west corner of the Tuileries Gardens next to the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Though most famous for being the permanent home for eight Water Lilies murals by Claude Monet, the museum also contains works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, Chaim Soutine, and Maurice Utrillo, among others.
According to the museum's website, the Orangerie was originally built in 1852 by the architect Firmin Bourgeois and completed by his successor, Ludovico Visconti, to shelter the orange trees of the garden of the Tuileries. Used by the Third Republic in the nineteenth century as deposit for goods, an examination room, and place of lodging for mobilized soldiers, it also served to house sporting, musical, and patriotic events. Additionally, it was a place to display exhibitions of industry, animals, plants, as well as rare displays of painting.
