Description
Artist:
Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was a radical Italian painter and sculptor. Despite the bad reception to his portraits of modern women during his lifetime, his distinctive works are now highly celebrated. His painting 'Nu Couché' sold for £113million in 2015, making it one of the most expensive paintings in history.
Modigliani's figures, with their elongated proportions and frank, almond eyes, skilfully portray the personality of the subject without straying from the artist's signature style. Our collection of Modigliani prints celebrates the legacy of the artist who revitalised figurative painting.
