MODIGLIANI AMEDEO

To contemporaries, Amedeo Modigliani was the very definition of ParisianBohemia, the controversial darling and target of the popular press and themodel on which many a novel, play and film was based. As an artist, thescandalous Modigliani made his name chiefly with his celebrated picturesof women, with almond eyes and long necks and bodies. His style hadancient roots that lay deep in classical antiquity or Africa. But hisportraits of intellectual giants of the age, friends such as PabloPicasso, Jean Cocteau or Diego Rivera, were inimitable also. In DorisKrystof's study, the scene Modigliani was the hero of comes alive, and hissensitive paintings and sculptures speak in tongues.
