A quite comprehensive survey of Modigliani's life and legacy. Many of the works showcased here were new to me, and the best among the surviving pieces support Modigliani's reputation as a seminal artist of the early twentieth century. In terms of his life, Modigliani seems the quintessential example of the bohemian urban artist of the past century, often living a hand-to-mouth existence on society's margins, and his biography often seems to overshadow the actual art he made and its merits. But the art endures, and the best samples of it are worthy to be set beside any works produced in Europe in the troubled second decade of the tragic twentieth century.

Thank you for this: I didn’t know about Modigliani’s traumatic background. This has inspired me to look at his work more closely. And Jeanne - oh, that poor woman and unborn child! So utterly sad. But European life in post-war 1920 was one big hot mess for so many, this must’ve further exacerbated Jeanne’s distress.

Fascinating art history lesson. So many early works that I've never seen - elegant, abbreviated line drawings. What a shame that he died before he could do more sculpture. I've always thought that should have been his focus. Soutine would be a good subject for a video. Thank you!

Yes, his sculpture was wonderful very much influenced initially by Brancusi. It would have been great to see how it would have developed. Soutine is on my list.
