Модильяни
An accursed artist? This was not Modigliani's vocation. The tragedy of his end was associated with that of Jeanne. Much to his despair, his bohemian rags became a memorable feature of his life. Behind the legend there lies an easy 'Modi' with the French word 'maudit'... Let us take a fresh look at a life, too brief.

J'aimerais tout d'abord souligner le talent de l'auteur qui en a fait un vrai roman délicieux à lire.
Que dire sur l'histoire à proprement parler ? Je n'arrive pas à mettre des mots sur mes sentiments. J'ai découvert Modigliani dans une galerie d'Athènes, son oeuvre m'a tout de suite bouleversée. Ses tableaux ne ressemblaient à rien que j'avais pu voir auparavant. Tellement d'émotions transparaissaient dans des tableaux qui pouvaient sembler si simples pour certains.
Grâce à ce livre, j'ai pu découvrir l'âme qui se cachait derrière les peintures que j'aime tant. Elles ont encore plus de valeur pour moi maintenant.
Amedeo, cosa posso dire di piu. Eri una personna speciale e mi sarebbe piaciuto potere parlare con te, almeno una volta... In una certa maniere è come se ci potessimo parlare tramite le tue pitture. Non hai avuto la vita facile e nessuno non ti ha mai capito. La tua arte è l'unica però che sa parlare.

Από τη μέση & μετά άρχισε να "ρολαρει" ο συγγραφέας κ έγινε λιγάκι πιο "ευκολοδιαβαστο"... Νομίζω ότι αυτή η συχνή αναφορά σε τόσα πολλά ονόματα, καθώς κ τα μπρος πίσω στις ημερομηνίες, κουράζει.

A biography of the artist Amedeo Modigliani. Not too much is known about the short life of this doomed artist, and since he seems to have spent most of his later years under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the story gets repetitive - too many anecdotes of boorish behavior. The most fun parts for me were the appearances by other characters of early 20th century Paris : Picasso and his coterie, Max Jacob, Kiki de Montparnasse.

Christian PARISOT is a great specialist and wrote several books about MODIGLIANI. Of course loving MODIGLIANI's painting, it's very interesting to read a biography so complete, detailed. All is true, no romance .... A reproach, the style is boring, and too much desorganized.

When you love Modigliani, the more you know, the more you want to know. You just can't get enough of this artist. So this one by Parisot is good, but it's still too short.

Μία πολύ όμορφη βιογραφία ενός καλλιτέχνη που έγραψε ιστορία.
