Description

Now available in a new and beautifully produced edition, this important examination of Modigliani's art focuses on the enigmatic genius of the avant-garde. One of the most recognisable artists of his era, Amedeo Modigliani is also perhaps one of the least understood. In this thorough, yet refreshingly concise volume, Werner Schmalenbach examines Modigliani's oeuvre, offering a chronological tour of every aspect of Modigliani's career. The informative commentary is complemented by numerous splendid reproductions, many of them full-page colour illustrations. The result is an intimate portrait of a life devoted to art and an essential reference for any art lover. AUTHOR: Werner Schmalenbach served as Director of the Kestner-Gesellschaft Museum in Hanover, Germany and of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen. He is the author of numerous books on twentieth-century and African art. 240 illustrations
