Among the most celebrated works of Modigliani’s brief but
brilliant career are his large-format nudes. Drenched in color
and glowing with the artist’s deep appreciation of women and
the female form, these works ushered in a new era of nude
portraiture, while also causing an enormous scandal. This
stunning exhibition catalog offers a new perspective on this
aspect of Modigliani’s work by examining for the first time his
portraits of emancipated women sporting coupe garçonnes
haircuts and wearing loin cloths. Modigliani was one of the
first chroniclers of the femme moderne, which also influenced
his nude painting and the scandal they caused. Featuring
lavish reproductions and astute texts by leading scholars, this
volume also examines Modigliani’s cultural context in European
Classicism, from Toulouse-Lautrec and Cezanne to the work of
his contemporaries, including Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gustav
Klimt, Egon Schiele, Jeanne Mammen and Wilhelm Lehmbruck;
and traces his impact on future European Modernism and New
Objectivity.
CHRISTIANE LANGE is Director of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
