A Collection of Modigliani Paintings

music is Le conseguenze dell'amore - Pasquale Catalano

from wikipedia:

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884 – January 24, 1920) was an Italian artist, practicing both painting and sculpture, who pursued his career for the most part in France. Modigliani was born in Livorno (historically referred to in English as Leghorn), in Northwestern Italy and began his artistic studies in Italy before moving to Paris in 1906. Influenced by the artists in his circle of friends and associates, by a range of genres and art movements, and by primitive art, Modigliani's œuvre was nonetheless unique and idiosyncratic. He died in Paris of tubercular meningitis— exacerbated by poverty, overworking, and an excessive use of alcohol and narcotics — at the age of 35.

i think the beauty of these paintings emerges in the artist's depiction of his models' flaws, their vulnerability, and thus their humanity. Also emergent in these depictions, I see elements of the artist's depictions of his own flaws, his own inability to depict what he sees, and in so doing, offers a unique perspective on his relationship with these models and, over the course of the collection, a somewhat tragic human condition.
