Konemann: Modigliani

Amedeo Modigliani’s favourite and most abiding motif was the human figure. His portraits of women, in particular, convey his sympathetic and highly individual gaze. Although his oeuvre consists mainly of paintings and drawings, he devoted himself exclusively to sculpture from 1909 to 1914. Modigliani enjoyed little success during his lifetime, but gained great popularity and recognition after his death.
