Modigliani (Phaidon colour library)

Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was one of the many talents drawn to Paris in the early years of this century. Modigliani engendered the legend of the "accursed" painter, whose poverty, corruption, and excess spawned the seeds of his genius. Among his works, nudes, portraits and studies of a surprising range of personalities and psychological types are represented in this introduction to the artist.
