gebunden. Condition: Neu. Neu -Hundert Jahre nach Amedeo Modiglianis (1884-1920) Tod ist es an der Zeit, den kontroversen Maler in der Kunstgeschichte der Moderne erneut zu untersuchen. Anhand einer ausgewählten Gruppe herausragender Werke feiert diese neue Studie das Oeuvre des Künstlers und gewährt tiefe Einblicke in seine Technik. Die fokussierte Analyse, die sich auf Modiglianis Entwicklung als Bildhauer und Maler konzentriert, umfasst charakteristische Beispiele aus seinen Hauptgenres - insbesondere Porträts und weibliche Akte. Es wird argumentiert, dass Modigliani der letzte große italienische Altmeister war, da er sich zwischen Renaissance und Moderne frei bewegte. Als Außenseiter unter seinen Zeitgenossen erforschte er mit seinen einzigartigen Skulpturen und Gemälden das Wesen der Schönheit aus einer melancholischen Perspektive.

Hardback. Condition: New. A hundred years after the death of Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), the time has come to re-examine the artist's controversial place in Modernist art history. By examining a select group of outstanding originals, this recent study celebrates his best work through advances in our understanding of the painter's techniques. This focused analysis of the artist, which centres on his maturity as a sculptor and painter, includes characteristic examples across Modigliani's major genres, especially portraiture and female nudes. It is argued that Modigliani was the last great Italian Old Master, moving as he did between Renaissance and Modernism. In his self-chosen path of being an outsider among his contemporaries, his unique sculptures and paintings explored the depth of beauty fused with melancholy and suffering.Text in English and German.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Amedeo Modigliani (18841920), a new publication by the renowned art historian David Franklin examines the signicant and idiosyncratic artist from Livorno (Italy). Based on a select group of exceptional works in sculpture and painting, the book gets up close to Modigliani's unique artistic outlook and accords in-depth insights into his painting technique. Presented in English and German. Today Modigliani is world famous for the style of his portraiture and female nudes, for the long necks and almond-shaped eyes of his gures. Yet even though he was by no means as incongruous with the public during his lifetime as romanticised historical writings occasionally purport, his style of modernism was that of a maverick swimming against the current. At the core of David Franklin's analysis is the conviction that Modigliani was neither an artist of the established mainstream nor one who entirely belonged to an avant-garde in pursuit of innovation and constant stylistic renewal. Rather, as is demonstrated, he consciously situated himself as an outsider during his Paris years, one who deed categorisation.That does not mean, however, that his art, which he produced contemporaneously with Cubism and Futurism, was any less modern. Modigliani was fully aware of the prevailing artistic currents of his time, and he did not ignore Cubism so much as decisively reject it.At a time when the most diverse of styles were superseding one another, Modigliani stubbornly pursued a direction all of his own. As David Franklin points out, the artist, who died from tuberculous meningitis at the age of thirty- ve, thus made a unique contribution during his mature phase as a painter to the exploration of human existence. The Canadian expert in Italian art expands on the distinctive features of Modigliani's oeuvre in the form of twenty- ve analyses of works and in doing so focuses in particular on four central points: that Modigliani fostered an unusually comprehensive and erudite respect for the past; that he worked in complete awareness of his illness and his inescapable early fate; that his experience as a sculptor had a lasting inuence on his painting; and that he developed a novel, wholly personal technique for immortalising the transient moment. A hundred years after the death of Amedeo Modigliani (18841920), the time has come to re-examine the artists controversial place in Modernist art history. Text in English and German.
