About the author
Amedeo Modigliani
143 books28 followers Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, (July 12, 1884 - January 24, 1920) was an Italian artist of Jewish heritage who practiced and pursued his career for the most part in France.
He began his artistic studies before moving to Paris in 1906. His circle of friends and associates, a range of genres and movements, and primitive art influenced the unique and idiosyncratic œuvre of Modigliani. Poverty, overworking, and an excessive use of alcohol and narcotics exacerbated tubercular meningitis, from which he died young in Paris.
Noted Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani gracefully elongated lines of his portraits, including Reclining Nude (1917).
