Amedeo Modigliani
Amedeo Modigliani is represented here by a compact group of five works spanning the years from 1909 to 1918, drawn largely from his graphic output and supplemented by sculpture and painting. Graphite, watercolor, limestone and oil all appear, reflecting the range of media through which he pursued his elongated, softly stylized figures and heads. The sheets concentrate on the nude and on portraits of women, from standing and seated nudes to profile studies and a girl in a sailor's blouse. Where dates extend past the artist's death, these are impressions up to 1918 rather than works made in his lifetime.
