A hundred years after the death of Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920), the time has come to re-examine the artist's controversial place in Modernist art history. By examining a select group of outstanding originals, this recent study celebrates his best work through advances in our understanding of the painter's techniques. This focused analysis of the artist, which centers on his maturity as a sculptor and painter, includes characteristic examples across Modigliani's major genres, especially portraiture and female nudes. It is argued that Modigliani was the last great Italian Old Master, moving as he did between Renaissance and Modernism. In his self-chosen path of being an outsider among his contemporaries, his unique sculptures and paintings explored the depth of beauty fused with melancholy and suffering. Text in English and German.

gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Hundert Jahre nach Amedeo Modiglianis (1884-1920) Tod ist es an der Zeit, den kontroversen Maler in der Kunstgeschichte der Moderne erneut zu untersuchen. Anhand einer ausgewählten Gruppe herausragender Werke feiert diese neue Studie das Oeuvre des Künstlers und gewährt tiefe Einblicke in seine Technik. Die fokussierte Analyse, die sich auf Modiglianis Entwicklung als Bildhauer und Maler konzentriert, umfasst charakteristische Beispiele aus seinen Hauptgenres - insbesondere Porträts und weibliche Akte. Es wird argumentiert, dass Modigliani der letzte große italienische Altmeister war, da er sich zwischen Renaissance und Moderne frei bewegte. Als Außenseiter unter seinen Zeitgenossen erforschte er mit seinen einzigartigen Skulpturen und Gemälden das Wesen der Schönheit aus einer melancholischen Perspektive.
