Peinture à l'huile sur toile d'Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), né en Italie, actif en Italie et en France.
Ce tableau fait partie du petit groupe de tableaux de jeunes gens peints par Modigliani. L'artiste a inscrit le titre de l'œuvre en bas à droite de la toile, identifiant le modèle comme un "jeune paysan". Cependant, il existe un doute quant à l'authenticité du titre. Le même modèle semble apparaître dans un autre tableau intitulé "Le Jeune Apprenti". Modigliani a longtemps été influencé par le peintre Paul Cézanne (1839-1906). Ce tableau a probablement été inspiré par les peintures de Cezanne représentant des travailleurs ruraux. Les sujets de Cezanne étaient également placés au centre de la toile et peints dans des tons principalement bleus.
Oil paint on canvas by Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), born Italy, worked italy and France.
This is one of the small group of paintings that Modigliani made of young people. The artist inscribed the work's title on the bottom right of the canvas, identifying the sitter as a 'peasant boy'. However, ther is some doubt over the assuracy of the title. The same model seem to appear in onother painting titled 'The Young Apprentice'. Modigliani had long been influenced by the painter Paul Cezanne (1839-1906). This painting was probably inspired by Cezanne's painting of country workers. Cézanne's subjects were also positioned in the centre of the canvas and painted in mostly blue tones.
This is a painting from 1915 by Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani... AND IT SAYS "LOL"! Anachronism right there!
...
if you wanna hear to true story, read on.
Of course Modigliani didn't actually know LOL is. But apparently the dancer model he's portraying has the awesome name of Lola de Valence. And coincidently her beautiful face blocked the 1/4 of her name painted in the background.... Thus the birth of "Madame LOL".
