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.

The informative commentary is complemented by numerous splendid reproductions, many of them full-page color illustrations. The result is an intimate portrait of a life devoted to art and an essential reference for any art lover.

The essays are insightful and erudite.
I especially loved how the book includes the comments about Modigliani made by various authors and artists who knew him.
I appreciated the large colour plates as well.

More notes to be added later.

A bit stretched like Modigliani's style, but the art was nice
