My Mom, 87 now, still displays a Modigliani print in her bedroom, I grew up with the lovely serene long-necked brunette’s image and still see it today when I visit her. My mother bears a resemblance for sure.

Amedeo Modigliani's works over looked. Happy to see this CBS presentation.

Surprisingly not mentioned about the his work is the influence of African art -- specifically MASKS -- had on him, especially o his sculpture. It's simplistic in the extreme to attribute the shape and stylization of his heads to the kinds of blocks of stone he stole. As with Picasso, African masks were very important to Modigliani.

What a HUGE secret! He painted over old paintings! Wow!

@nobletalent Жыл бұрын

Modigliani painted over old canvas because he did not achieve success in his lifetime and died penniless. Now his art is worth millions upon millions, sometimes I believe the art world is a scam like NFT.

Don't get that far east but love Modigliani (Andy Garcia was in a good biopic).

Oops. Wrong music ending this piece. It’s kletzmer and Ashkenazi while Modigliani’s family was Sephardi.

These people, and I mean the type of people. Would not even give them a minute to see their work…. Once they’re dead …. Now they’re a genius! So sad. Celebrate todays greats before they die.

The sound track from the Painted Veil?

@danielwardin3609 Жыл бұрын

@Jiggy fun I don't know about The Painted Veil but the music is by Erik Satie. Look him up and at the very least listen to Les Trois Gymnopaedie (sp.?). Regards. P.s.:It was the composer Darius Milhaud -- teacher of Dave Brubeck!! -- who saved Satie's manuscripts when he, Milhaud, escaped Paris in 1939...

I like this! It seems I'm always drawn to pieces where theres an oddity, uniqueness, and mystery to faces...However, I wish the subjects weren't always white faces. I don't see a lot of this aesthetic made with facial features and skin tones like mine.

Why incorporate the painting beneath the top painting? That's ridiculousness. If I'm incorrect reply..

@florinest Жыл бұрын

It's ridiculousness that you would think it ridiculous. You obviously know nothing about painting!! There are no rules, no list of what one can and cannot do. One must be open to allow a free flow of ideas, inspirations, whims to come from every imaginable source, including incorporating the surface on which you are painting!

@MissTXTee Жыл бұрын

Who knows, it may have started as a function of practicality....Why buy a new canvas, if you can just paint over an old one? Or, maybe he felt the colors in finished works just looked richer when he didn't start from a plain white surface. Or, maybe there is some meaning to him to have his art on top of a hidden art piece (2 for 1 special)....In any case, it's not "ridculous", it's just not clear to you...
