Italian
painter and sculptor, who was concerned with graceful,
simplified, and sympathetic portrayal of the human figure.
Modigliani was born in Livorno and raised in a Jewish
ghetto, where he suffered serious illnesses as a boy.
He studied art in Florence and in 1906 moved to Paris,
where he became acquainted with Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau,
and other avant-garde artists living there.
In the winter of 1906 he moved to Paris. During his early
years in Paris, Modigliani turned to sculpture, carving
totem-like figures in stone that owed a debt to his mentor
Constantin Brancusi as well as to African masks and Greek
Archaic figures.
