Grave of Amedeo Modigliani and his fiancée Jeanne Hébuterne
Modigliani died at 35 of tubercular meningitis. His fiancée, twenty-one-year-old Hébuterne was eight months pregnant with their second child.
The day after his death, she threw herself out of a fifth-floor window, killing herself and her unborn child. Modigliani was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery. Hébuterne was buried at the Cimetière de Bagneux near Paris, and it was not until 1930 that her embittered family allowed her body to be moved to rest beside Modigliani. A single tombstone honors them both. His epitaph reads: "Struck down by death at the moment of glory". Hers reads: "Devoted companion to the extreme sacrifice".
1919. Oli sobre tela. 36-1/4 x 23-3/4 in. Museu d'Art d'Indianapolis, Indianapolis. 46.22. Obra exposada: H200.
"With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself."
- Amedeo Modigliani
"What I am seeking is not the real and not the unreal but rather the unconscious, the mystery of the instinctive in the human race."
- Amedeo Modigliani

Emulating Marsha Balian's style is a walk on the wild side! It's great fun to assemble quirky characters using bits and pieces from various sources. The face is borrowed from Modigliani.
Created for the Digitalmania challenge where this week our inspiration is TEXTY COLLAGE.
Everything in this is in the Public Domain. Modigliani did have a hand in it though.
Thanks for looking.

"SHOA"
juif errant , juif maudit
et nul mot sur eux est interdit
traités de crimes et de trahisons
ils ont été mis en prison
on les a torturés et tués
au nom d’une infâme idée
et maintenant plus que jamais
a qui le tour s’il vous plaît ?

Dobbiamo essere ascoltati: al di sopra delle nostre esperienze individuali, siamo stati collettivamente testimoni di un evento fondamentale ed inaspettato, fondamentale appunto perché inaspettato, non previsto da nessuno. E’ avvenuto, quindi può accadere di nuovo: questo è il nocciolo di quanto abbiamo da dire. Può accadere, e dappertutto.(Primo Levi)
Charter for Compassion
One amazing fact about Vittorio Corcos is that he was born in the same city as Amedeo Modigliani. Two Italian Jewish painters from Livorno that had very different lives, Corcos enjoyed a long and prosperous international career, dying at the age of 74 in 1933. Modigliani struggled to sell his work and died little known at the age of 35 in 1920. But I guess now it's Modigliani turn.
My first thoughts while viewing this large painting was that I was reminded of John Singer Sargent. Apparently Vittorio Corcos was a contemporary of Sargent's and also spent many years in demand as a painter of portraits for the aristocrats.
Then I had a question "Who is that woman and what is she reading?" This link claims that she is "Elena Vecchi, the daughter of a naval officer who earned his fame as Jack La Bolina, the author of popular adventure stories." Also implied is that Elena Vecchi was the mistress of Vittorio Corcos. "Dreams belongs to a long line of impressionist images of women reading, but the model is not interrupted with book in hand or disturbed in a moment of reverie. Instead the yellow Flammarion novels lie closed on the bench, while Vecchi gazes provocatively at the viewer. Her crossed legs and indecorous pose were considered scandalous for the period, causing quite a stir when the painting was exhibited in Florence in 1896."
According to an old NYT piece "...during the last decade of the 19th and first of the 20th centuries, Corcos intermittently produced some unusual images of dangerously independent women that now constitute the most distinctive of his works." Another quote “'Dreams,” which was an instant succès de scandale when it was first exhibited in Florence in 1896, features a young woman, casually posed in advanced, loose-fitting dress, sitting on a bench beside a pile of well-thumbed “yellow books” (almost certainly of a risqué variety), who fixes the viewer with an enigmatic, sphinx-like gaze.'"
For me it was one of the most striking views at Rome's Galleria Nazionale d'Arte and I'm still thinking about it three years later. This La Belle Époque painter and his model that are almost forgotten.
Up until about 30 years ago there were hardly any Africans in Israel.
Then, in 1985 and in 1991 two waves of Ethiopian Jews immigrated to the country.
They came from a traditional agricultural country to an OECD one.
To make things harder, they encounter awful racism
(by people whose parents and grandparents suffered so much from racism, themselves).
Their life in Israel is hard; not surprising they face major social and mental problems.
For me, the tension between her tattoo and her lipstick symbolizes the situation of the
Ethiopian community between past and present.
