Jeanne Hébuterne with hat
Jeanne Hébuterne with a big straw hat. (1918)Two years before
his death Amedeo painted a portrait of his 21-year-old Jeanne.
He had lived together with this fair-skinned, auburn-haired
young artist since 1916. Jeanne's portrait with a big straw hat is
considered the most beautiful of the sixteen portraits Amedeo
painted of her. With his typical use of colours, inspired by
Byzantine art, he paints a modest, friendly Jeanne in geometric
forms. The portrait is painted in the year that Jeanne becomes
pregnant with their daughter Giovanna. Two years later she
becomes pregnant again but ends her own life the day after
Amedeo dies.Height: 11 cm
Based on the original from Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920)

Kariatide
Kariatide (1913)Based on the original from Amedeo Modigliani
(1884-1920)In 1912, the art of sculpture seemed to have taken
a heavy toll. Modigliani was completely exhausted by the heavy
and dusty work. He was forced to devote his attentions once
again to painting and was inspired by Chaïm Soutine, his new
neighbour. He was particularly impressed by the technique and
definitive lines of this Lithuanian Impressionist. Modigliani chose
the caryatid as the subject of his art on a number of occasions.
Originally it was a pilaster in the form of a sculptured female
figure, illustrating how sculpture continued to play a role in his
paintings.Height: 15 cm

Lunia Czechowska
APARTLINE
Lunia Czechowska (1919)The elongated neck catches the eye
in this portrait of Lunia Czechowska, a family friend of the
Zborowskis. In Paris Modigliani becomes friends with the poet
Zborowski who later establishes himself as an art dealer. He
sees to it that Modigliani is more or less able to provide for
himself and to support Jeanne, his wife and the young mother of
his child, who has a troubled relationship with Amedeo because
of his illness and alcoholism. Modigliani is very fond of the
friendly and sensitive Lunia Czechowska and he regularly paints
her. This portrait has all the characteristics of his work, it has a
sculpture-like compactness and it is vertically geometric and
meditatively modest. The person portrayed is reduced to her
essential being, stripped of all unnecessary decoration.Height:
10,5 cm
Based on the original from Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920)
