Modigliani




















While searching for some old photographs, came across this old print of Amedeo Modigliani, preserved so well across these 20 years, since I had taken the trouble to get it laminated . A favorite painter, discovered in my youth, thanks to a dear friend who introduced me to a whole series of artists.

This is a portrait of Jeanne, his wife, who killed herself. Of all the long sad faces of Modigliani, this one is my favorite.

  1. That's the one I have in my kitchen! And his wife, (different portrait), was the inspiration behind the story/screenplay I told you about. :-)
