MUSEUM SHOW
MODIGLIANI & THE MODERN PORTRAIT
Nassau County Museum of Art, New York
22 July-5 November 2023
This show combined the brilliant colors and powerful linear style of Modigliani with works by contemporaries from the School of Paris, including Picasso, Man Ray, Matisse, Munch, Klimt, Lachaise, Laurencin, Foujita, van Dongen and Soutine to name a few, bringing to life the bohemian heyday of Montparnasse in Modigliani’s day.
One of the fascinating insights offered was a new perspective on Modigliani’s Jewish identity and his connections to such artists as Kisling, Pascin, Lipchitz and Chagall. It also extends the idea of portraiture as Modigliani changed it, to include contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Eric Fischl, David Hockney, Amy Tiffany Hemingway and Inès Longevial. The legacy of Modigliani’s psychological depth resonates in the studios of our own time.
