The Best in Beauty
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
If you like Italian art and beautiful women, then this is the book for you. Modigliani is without parallel. His art echoes the elegance of Trecento Sienese painting, elegantly garbed in the Paris of its heyday. Should your eye wonder more towards the purely formal in art, a delight in the abstract of form and colour, then Modigliani is also a master to enthral your eye and mind. Hope you enjoy the book as much as I do.
one of the best...

Modiliagni might be undervalued in the world of artists and painters. He should be honored as well as Picasso, and friends... In the book with mainly act paintings, sketches and text explains Amadeos way how he had seen women and colors. The book is a must in your library...
Best book out there on Modigliani
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
For those who love the sensuous work of this early 20th century master, this text is the best on the market. The pictures span the entire short career (he died at age 36) of this artistic genius. There are stunning images throughout. The colour reproduction is superb, and the paper used is of the highest quality. There are excellent, exhaustive descriptions of the artist's life, although the descriptions of many of the paintings are short. My only wish is that there were more nudes chosen for the exhibition, because no artist dead or alive painted a nude as beautiful or as provocative as Modigliani. The book is not cheap, but for those who admire this wonderful painter, the price is worth every penny and more.
