Modigliani
Scandalous Amedeo Modigliani, the controversial darling and target of the popular press
To contemporaries, Amedeo Modigliani was the very definition of Parisian Bohemia, the controversial darling and target of the popular press and the model on which many a novel, play and film was based.
As an artist, the scandalous Modigliani made his name chiefly with his celebrated pictures of women, with almond eyes and long necks and bodies. His style had ancient roots that lay deep in classical antiquity or Africa. But his portraits of intellectual giants of the age, friends such as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau or Diego Rivera, were inimitable also. In Doris Krystof's study, the scene Modigliani was the hero of comes alive, and his sensitive paintings and sculptures speak in tongues.

su vida es irrepetible.
El amigo que me habló de él por primera vez cumple años este noviembre. Si este libro llega a la isla -por favor, que llegue- será un buen regalo. Es arduo conseguir ediciones de Taschen en Canarias, pero confío en poder encontrarlo antes de la fecha.
cinturas estrechas, largos cuellos; Modigliani.
Paz.
