There are only a few landscape motifs.\n\n His works could not be assigned to a particular art movement.\n\n Even in the sculptures he created mainly between 1909 and 1914, man is the subject of his depiction.\n\n Modigliani came from a Jewish family and grew up as the youngest of four children.\n\n His parents owned a lumber and coal business that had driven the family into bankruptcy.\n\n Therefore, his mother, who came from Marseille, had to work as a private teacher and translator to support the family.\n\r \nModigliani learned French from his mother at an early age, which helped him overcome the language barrier later in Paris.\n\n After Modigliani fell ill with typhus at the age of 14, which was still fatal at the time, his parents allowed him to drop out of school and enroll in 1898 to study art at the private drawing and painting school of the painter Guglielmo Micheli in Livorno, which still held strong to Impressionism.\n\n Here he learned nude painting in Gino Romiti’s studio.\n\n At just 16 years old, Modigliani fell ill again. This time with tuberculosis.\n\n After his recovery, he enrolled in the free life drawing school in Florence in May 1902, where he studied mainly Renaissance art under Giovanni Fattori.\n\n In 1903, Modigliani followed his friend Ghiglia to Venice, where he enrolled at one of Italy’s most prestigious art schools, the Accademia di belle arti di Venezia.\n\r \nAmong other things, he took free life drawing classes, with his studies focusing on Italian art history.\n\n At the art exhibition in 1903 and 1905 in Venice, the Biennale di Venezia, which has been held every two years since 1895 and is thus the oldest biennial, Modigliani came into contact for the first time with the works of the French Impressionists, with sculptures by Rodin, as well as the works of Symbolism.\n\n The 56th Art Biennale took place from May 9 to November 22, 2015.\n\n Modiglianie's move to Paris\n\n At the beginning of 1906, Amedeo Modigliani moved to Paris because the art scene there was considered particularly progressive and one could quickly make a name for oneself in the art scene.\n\n The Parisian art world was the center of avant-garde painting, which supported young artists such as Pablo Picasso.\n\n Modigliani lived in a very simple district of Montmartre and, despite his mother's support, was often unable to afford the rent.\n\r \nHe took life drawing lessons at the Academie Colarossi and had to change his accommodation often because of unpaid rent. He usually left his works of art behind in the apartments.\n\n One year later, in 1907, Modigliani was taken by the painter Henri Auguste Doucet to a house that the young doctor Paul Alexandre had rented for artists.\n\n Paul Alexandre was enthusiastic about Modigliani's paintings and supported him with commissions. He gave Modigliani access to wealthy circles, so that in the spring of 1909 Modigliani received his first real paid commission for the portrait \"The Baroness's Amazon\".\n\u003ch3\u003e Modigliani's time as a sculptor\u003c\/h3\u003e\r \nWhen Modigliani met the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi in 1909, he moved into his studio to devote himself to stone sculpture. Constantin Brâncuși's modern and simple style may have been a kind of inspiration for Modigliani's work. The technical requirements were also present in his studio.\n\n From now on, Modigliani created stone sculptures that appeared archaic (from a very old time), which were exhibited in the following years at the Autumn Salon. He met the sculptors Jacques Lipchitz and Jacob Epstein. Epstein was an American-British sculptor and draftsman with Jewish roots. Jacques Lipchitz, actually Chaim Jakoff Lipschitz, was an important French-American sculptor of the 20th century.\n\r \nIn the spring of 1913, Modigliani worked in a quarry near Livorno, where he carved his sculptures in marble, having previously only worked with sand-lime brick. He sent these to Paris, but they were never preserved.\n\n His poor health in the dusty environment may have been the reason why Modigliani stopped his sculpture work after 1913 and devoted himself to painting again.\n\n The further development of his sculptures and the financial upturn also failed to materialize.\n\n The return to painting brought to light a series of about 30 nude paintings in 1916 and 1917, which were to be shown in a solo exhibition arranged by Leopold Zborowski in the gallery of the art dealer Berthe Weill. Due to the liberal nature of the nude paintings, this exhibition was prohibited.\n\r \nAfter further mediation by the Polish poet and art dealer Zborowski, who supported Modigliani, several of Modigliani's works were shown at exhibitions in England in 1919. Furthermore, in September 1919, the Hill Gallery in London showed ten works by Modigliani.\n\n On January 24, 1920, Modigliani died in the Charité in Paris. His then pregnant fiancée Jeanne Hébuterne committed suicide the next day after Modigliani's death by jumping from the 5th floor at her parent's house.\n\n Their daughter Jeanne Modigliani (29 November 1918 – 27 July 1984) was adopted by Modigliani’s sister and lived in Florence.\n\n Modigliani lived a short but passionate artistic life in Paris.\n\n Stormy love affairs, alcohol - cannabis and opium - excesses - and commercial failure shaped the life of Amedeo Modigliani.\n\n His paintings, sculptures and drawings are selling even more successfully today.\n\r \nModigliani stayed in Paris in the bohemian artistic circles, where he painted portraits of many of his fellow artists. Pablo Picasso, whom he also painted in 1915, was one of his great role models there.\n\n One of his nude paintings is considered the second most expensive auction sale in the world – right behind Picasso.\n\u003ch3\u003e Some works by Modigliani:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n Nude (The Little Jeanne) 1908 – Oil on canvas -Perls Gallery in New York\n\n The Jewess 1908 -Oil on canvas- Private collection\n\n Suffering Nude – Nudo Dolente - Oil on canvas – Rhichard Nathanson in London\n\n The Cellist -1909 -Oil on canvas-Private collection\n\n Caryatid -1911\/1912 – Art Collection in Düsseldorf\n\n Head 1912- Sculpture – Metropolitan Museum of Art\n\n Caryatid in Pink – 1913\/1914 -Watercolor – Evelyn Sharp Collection\n\n Caryatid - 1913 - Oil on canvas - Samir Traboulsi Collection\n\n Portrait of Diego Rivera- 1914 – Oil on cardboard – Sant Paulo Art Museum\n\n Portrait of Moise Kisling – 1915- Oil on canvas- Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan\n\r \nBride and Groom – 1915 – Oil on canvas – Museum of Art in New York\n\n Portrait of Beatrice Hastings in front of a door – 1915 - Oil on canvas – Ritter Collection New York\n\n Sitting Ak – 1916 – Oil on canvas – Courtauld Institute of Art in London\n\n Portrait of Jacques Lipchitz with his wife – 1916 – Oil on canvas – Art Institute of Chicago\n\n Portrait of Chaim Soutine – 1916- Oil on canvas- Private collection\n\n Sleeping Nude with Open Arms (Nude in Red) -1917- Oil on canvas- Gianni Mattioli Collection\n\n Seated Nude – 1917 - Oil on canvas – Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp\n\n Portrait of Jeanne Hebuterne with large hat – 1917- Oil on canvas – Private collection\n\n Reclining Nude with Arms Crossed Behind the Head – Oil on Canvas – 1917 Private Collection\n\n Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne – 1918- Oil on canvas- Private collection\n\n Standing Nude (Elvira) – 1918 – Oil on canvas – Walter Hadorn Collection in Bern\n\r \nGirl in Blue -1918 -Oil on canvas -Private collection\n\n Portrait of Jeanne Hébuterne -1919 – Oil on canvas -Private collection\n\n Landscape – 1919- Oil on canvas – Private collection\n\n Tree and Houses – 1919- Oil on canvas – Private collection\n\n Self-portrait – 1919 -Oil on canvas – Museum of Contemporary Art, University of São Paulo","brand":"Wright Magnificent Sculptures UG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49787015299409,"sku":null,"price":259.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1908\/8465\/files\/Modigliani-Bueste-001.jpg?v=1728878647","url":"https:\/\/wms-trade.de\/en\/products\/amedo-modigliani-kopf-in-bronze-mit-kuenstlersignatur-2","provider":"Wright Magnificent Sculptures UG (Haftungsbeschränkt)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
