Modigliani



Even though the way of living was little bit different, Modigliani and Picasso lived Bohemian life. For example, Picasso was addicted with women and Modigliani was addicted with drink and drug. And also that their early stages of painting incorporate gloomy and blue is similar one. I think this mood originated from their poverty and tough life of early stages of painting. While Modigliani exaggerated shape of face, neck and face expression of portrait with sharp image and we can figure out his subject because his art works resembled with his subject, Picasso depict women portrait with exaggerated plumping and sometimes viewer can’t figure out his subject because Picasso analyzed his subject too much and spread out these forms on the plat canvas like puzzle. Even though Picasso expressed perfection from his art works, Modigliani showed us feeling of incompletion because he didn’t draw eyeballs in his portraits sometimes.
