Perhaps this is because his very individual vision tells us something of the pathos of human beings in a world growing progressively more complex and bewildering, and the wistful imaginings of an artist equally lost. Although influenced by Neo~Impressionism, Cubism, the primitive arts, and Brancusi, his work at the same time shows how much the fifteenth~century art of his own native Italy remained with him. His voluptuous nudes, so vibrant yet so delicate; his innocent, wide~eyed, trusting children; his portraits which, despite the mannerisms of his art, project an astonishing impact of personality (to judge by the photographs, the sitters could be easily identified)~all these show a refinement of line and an elegance of color and touch which do much to explain his solid place in modern art. Modigliani was a very romantic figure, tremendously popular with women. His great love, Jeanne Hebuterne, committed suicide on the morning after his death. Yet the legend of his dissipation and irregular life must have been exaggerated, as Dr. Alfred Werner, the author, points out, for the productivity of his pitifully short life makes it much more likely that it was illness that drove him to work and live at a frenzied pace~a man working against time and creating a body of immortal work. Dr. Werner is a prolific writer on modern art who has made a special study of the so~called School of Paris painters. He has consulted with family and friends of the artist and has examined a great deal of documentary material, some of which is reproduced here to make a kind of family album. Sculpture (perhaps Modigliani's greatest love in art), paintings, and drawings are included to round out a striking lifework. 122 illustrations, including 48 tipped~on colorplates.
