Overview

Equally famous for his masterful canvases and tumultuous mental health, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was, in many ways, a tortured artist. A lifelong sufferer of painfully degenerative tuberculosis, Modigliani was famous for denying his disease with a frenzied bohemian lifestyle of hard drinking, drug abuse, and passionate love affairs. But at the same time, he managed to produce some famous masterpieces, and today his work sells for record-breaking sums whenever it comes up for auction. In this fascinating examination of Modigliani's life and work, Frances Alexander, Jane Rogoyska, and Klaus Carl turn their penetrating gaze on this most enigmatic of artistic geniuses.
