Modigliani - Statue - Big Red Bust (Leopold II) (1913)

About the Big Red Bust

This Big Red Bust is part of our exclusive collection of statues at the Musart Boutique, inspired by Modigliani's original oil on canvas (1913) ©Modigliani Foundation. Modigliani "first name was Amedeo, literally the one who loves God." Certainly, he loved women"”a lot. In the years 1911 to 1913, he explored sculpture, creating a series of geometric heads in stone, inspired by African masks. Because of poor health, he soon abandoned the labor of direct carving, but it resurfaced in Female Big Red Bust, along with memories from the art of the past. Amedeo Modigliani's work and style can be immediately recognized because of his extraordinary interpretations of the human face, maintaining his individuality through the typical elongation of shapes. His works were not received well during his lifetime but later found acceptance. The statue makes a perfect statement for Art lovers alike or people who love decorative items.
