LTD MODERNIST ETCHING AFTER AMEDEO MODIGLIANI SIGNED - A limited edition etching on paper, Portrait of Chaim Soutine, after the original artwork by Amedeo Modigliani, Italian, French, 1884 to 1920. Inscribed, Modigliani, lower right. Numbered in pencil, 25 of 75, lower left. Framed. Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani is celebrated for his iconic portraits, which, with often mask like faces and striking blue eyes, have become iconic works of the early 20th century. Inspired by Existentialist philosophy and a rejection of his bourgeois childhood, Modigliani chose not to paint landscapes, like many of his contemporaries, instead using portraiture to explore both his own psychology and that of his subjects, who were typically fellow artists or lovers. Modigliani also painted highly sexualized female nudes that at the time, were daringly erotic. His style is figurative but also highly expressive, and his subjects are shown with quirks and asymmetries, recalling the portraiture of Paul Cezanne, whose work Modigliani greatly admired.
