“A turbulent, tragic life has made of Modigliani a cult figure and a symbol of twentieth century art. An accomplished painter, superb draftsman, and extraordinary sculptor, whether with stone or canvas, he transforms faces to bring out their spiritualized features, paints eyes without pupils, elongates necks to the point of deformation, and with his elegant profiles gives an interpretation of Cubism revisited in the light of classical art."
