| Web Author Description | Douglas Hall was formerly Keeper of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh. |
| webLongDescription | Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was one of the many and diverse talents who were drawn to Paris in the early years of this century, making the city a vibrant but pressurized environment for artistic expression. A legend grew up around Modigliani, who, along with others, engendered the concept of the peintre maudit – the accursed painter – whose poverty, corruption and excess were the very seeds from which his remarkable works of art were conceived. |

His interpretation of a central theme of the tradition, the reclining female nude, produced a series of uniquely beautiful works, outstanding in the grace and harmony of their linear designs and the quality of their colour. Nude, portraits and studies of a surprising range of personalities and psychological types are represented in this ideal introduction to the artist, as is a selection of his remarkable stone carvings, of which about 25 survive.\u003c/p\u003e","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cem\u003eColour Library\u003c/em\u003e Series\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;Ideal introductions for students and museum-goers.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eIndependent\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;Phaidon\u0026#8217;s excellent \u003cem\u003eColour Library\u003c/em\u003e series: [...] a good introduction to nearly 50 key artists and movements in art history.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eAntiques Trade Gazette\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;The Phaidon Colour Library Series provides an invaluable introduction to key artists and movements in art history.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eArt \u0026amp; Craft\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","webShortDescription":"An introduction to the work of Modigliani."}
