Tate Introductions: Modigliani

This is a lively and accessible introduction to the life and work of Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920). Modigliani, who produced some of the most memorable art of the early 20th century, was born in Livorno, Italy, and worked in Paris from 1906. He was under-appreciated in his lifetime but has come to be regarded as one of the most influential figures of early modernism. In a tragically short career, experimentation and innovation were consistent priorities. This illustrated book offers an insightful and engaging account of Modigliani’s life, his art, and his legacy.
