About Modigliani Sculpture - Abstract African Inspired Female Head

This Modigliani Sculpture is an abstract female stone head. It shows instantly Modigliani's fascination with the classical African and Etruscan sculptures. The classical caryatids with their balanced geometric lines and their modest beauty inspired him. His later paintings repeat his interest in elongated female portraits, exotic and primitive.

The Artist

Modigliani

Amedeo Modigliani grew up in Livorno, Italy as the fourth child of a Jewish family. He was particularly close to his mother, who indulged the young kid's passion for art. By the time he was 14, she enrolled him with the best painting master in Livorno, Guglielmo Micheli. In 1906, Modigliani settled in Paris where he attended the Académie Colarossi. He found inspiration in Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Georges Rouault, Pablo Picasso, and particularly Paul Cezanne's work. In 1909, Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi introduced Modigliani to African sculpture and since then, this new influence impacted his art. For reinvigorating the practice of portraiture, Modigliani’s work remains one of the most significant and original of his time.
