Amedeo Modigliani (Great art of the ages)

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (1884 - 1920) was an Italian draughtsman, painter, and sculptor. His fame is based above all on his nude paintings, which were perceived as scandalous at his time and only later found acceptance. Modigliani spent his youth in Italy, where he studied ancient and Renaissance art until he moved to Paris in 1906. There he came into contact with talented artists such as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. Lung diseases marked his life; at the age of 35, he died of tuberculosis. The information about Modigliani's life is based on only a few guaranteed documents, so those legends were formed around him, especially after his death.Modigliani's oeuvre consists mainly of paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, however, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. There are also a few pictures with landscape motifs. Interior scenes and still lifes by Modigliani are not known. Modigliani often referred to the Renaissance in his works, but also took up other elements such as African art, which was popular in his time. On the other hand, he does not belong to any of the contemporary styles, such as Cubism or Fauvism. During his lifetime, Amedeo Modigliani had little success with his art, only after his death did he achieve more significant popularity, and his works of art achieved high prices.
