In endless odes to the female form, Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) traced elongated bodies, almond eyes, and his own name into art history. His languid female subjects are as instantly recognizable as they are startling, sensual, and swan-necked.
Modigliani's unique figuration corresponded to his own personal idea of beauty, but drew upon a rich variety of visual influences, including contemporary Cubism, African carvings, Cambodian sculptures, and 13th-century painting from his native Italy. Although most renowned for his nude females, he applied similar stylistic techniques to portraits of male artistic contemporaries such as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Chaïm Soutine.
With key works from his highly individualistic repertoire, this book introduces Modigliani's brief but revered career at the heart of Paris’s early modernist hotbed.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En odas inacabables a la forma femenina, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) trazó cuerpos alargados, ojos almendrados y su propio nombre en la historia del arte. Sus lánguidas mujeres son instantáneamente reconocibles, además de deslumbrantes y sensuales, con su cuello de cisne . La figuración única de Modigliani respondía a su idea personal de la belleza, si bien recurrió a diversas influencias visuales, incluidas entre ellas el cubismo contemporáneo, las tallas africanas, las esculturas camboyanas y la pintura del siglo xiii de su Italia natal . Pese a ser célebre sobre todo por sus desnudos femeninos, aplicó técnicas estilísticas similares a retratos de artistas masculinos contemporáneos como Pablo Picasso , Jean Cocteau y Chaïm Soutine . Con obras clave de su repertorio sumamente particular, este libro presenta la breve mas reverenciada carrera de Modigliani en el corazón del hervidero del arte moderno temprano que fue París . *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
