1899 рубAmedeo Modigliani: Nudes and Portraits
Anette Kruszynski Numerous high-quality reproductions accompany this in-depth examination of Modigliani's career, from the penetrating psychological studies of his early portraits, through the more stylized images such as the graceful figures with the famous almond-shaped eyes and swan-like necks, to his mature depiction of nudes, which have become symbols of femininity. Although Modigliani led the life of the turn-of-the-century bohemian in Paris, dying at the young age of 35, his restless life is scarcely reflected in his paintings. The author shows how his works are characterized by cool detachment and often archaic austerity. This fascinating study reveals how Modigliani drew his inspiration not so much from the avant-garde movements of the time, such as Cubism, Fauvism, and Futurism, as from the artists of the Renaissance and Rococo periods.

Manuel Lopez Blazquez Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani has endured as one of the most esteemed artists of the twentieth century and his work has never been more popular than it is today. The lush, sensuous nudes and intense, mannered portraits that are his trademark have become favorites of collectors and museum-goers alike, the timeless products of a man who was as passionate about his life as he was about his art. Though Modigliani's work was largely ignored during his short lifetime, the myth surrounding him as a Romantic artist, one hampered by illness but given to personal excess, has only served to bolster the popularity of his work today. Modigliani's untimely death cut short his impassioned productivity, but this volume captures the intensity of his drawings, sculpture, and paintings in more than seventy full-color illustrations. Documentary photographs enhance the detailed account of his life, his inspirations, his friends and lovers, and his intense struggle to assert...

2838 рубModigliani: A Life
Jeffrey Meyers In 1920, at the age of thirty-five, Amedeo Modigliani died in poverty and neglect in Paris, much like a figure out of La Boh`eme. His life had been as dramatic as his death. An Italian Jew from a bourgeois family, "Modi" had a weakness for drink, hashish, and the many women-including the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova-who were drawn to his good looks. His friends included Picasso, Utrillo, Soutine, and other important artists of his day, yet his own work stood apart, generating little interest while he lived. Today's art world, however, acknowledges him as a master whose limited oeuvre-sculptures, portraits, and some of the most appealing nudes in the whole of modern art-cannot satisfy collectors' demand. With a lively but judicious hand, biographer Jeffrey Meyers sketches Modigliani and the art he produced, illuminating not only this little-known figure but also the painters, writers, lovers, and others who inhabited early twentieth-century Paris with him.

2310 рубModigliani: Beyond the Myth
Amedeo Modigliani is one of the greatest - and most misunderstood - artists of the twentieth century. His incisive portraits, erotically charged nudes, beautiful drawings, and primitivistic sculpture have been admired for decades. Modigliani's work, however, has typically been examined in the limited context of his so-called "bohemian," anti-intellectual lifestyle. This groundbreaking book revises this approach toward Modigliani's art, presenting a convincing revisionist examination of the unique historical, social, religious, and cultural significance of his oeuvre. "Modigliani: Beyond the Myth" looks at the artist and his art from a variety of important perspectives: his proud heritage as a Sephardic Jew, whose spirituality embraced non-Western, classical, and Christian iconography while retaining his own ethnic identity; his critical engagement with the dialogues of the most radical of his avant-garde contemporaries (Picasso, Chaim Soutine, Henri Matisse, and Brancusi); the...
