Favorite Artists: Amedeo Modigliani

My South African wife, who came to me late in life, is Jewish, and has spurred many new interests in me, one of which is a fascination of the many awesome accomplishments of Jewish artists. One of my favorites is Amedeo Modigliani. Modigliani was born in Italy in 1884. He went to Paris in 1906, and quickly became friends with Bohemian artists Chaim Soutine, Maurice Utrillo, and Pablo Picasso, among others. Unfortunately, he also formed a close acquaintance with absinthe, hashish, and the ladies. He died of tubercular meningitis in 1920. He was only 35.

[@conxtantine]

I know what you mean ... but he might painted like that because all of his drunk nigts and drugs he took .. It might have been the way he pictured people in an intoxicated condition .. but it is still him .. and I love his work .. weird thing he did not go for immpresionism lol .. and picasso took another way ..

art, i am sorry to say, is everything you say and this is what artists have done in ther so difficult life to be understood and be loved. So you should not judge them, just take what they have offered and honored to others.

I do not see what his religious ancestry has to do with his art?

[@anacamusso7468]

It is not religious ancestry. It is about culture.
Modigliani was not focus in religious issues, and he was a great jewish italian artist. if you learn about his work deeply you will discover very fast his roots. It is wanderful.

[@polinapetukhova3891]

you are wrong bestjonbon!!! Modigliani is a ITALIAN artist not a JEWISH artist!!! ha ha ha

[@anacamusso7468]

He is a jewish italian artist. And a very jewish italian artist, very different from the others who used to live in Paris at that time. You should study art before posting....
