Редактор: Mason Klein Amedeo Modigliani is one of the greatest - and most misunderstood - artists of the twentieth century His incisive portraits, erotically charged nudes, beautiful drawings, and primitivistic sculpture have been admired for decades Modigliani's work, however, has typically been examined in the limited context овбум of his so-called "bohemian," anti-intellectual lifestyle This groundbreaking book revises this approach toward Modigliani's art, presenting a convincing revisionist examination of the unique historical, social, religious, and cultural significance of his oeuvre "Modigliani: Beyond the Myth" looks at the artist and his art from a variety of important perspectives: his proud heritage as a Sephardic Jew, whose spirituality embraced non-Western, classical, and Christian iconography while retaining his own ethnic identity; his critical engagement with the dialogues of the most radical of his avant-garde contemporaries (Picasso, Chaim Soutine, Henri Matisse, and Brancusi); the influence of tribal art and Judaism on his portraiture; the representation of the female nude in his works from a feminist cultural perspective; and the remarkable reception of his work in Italy during his lifetime Lavishly illustrated and including a detailed chronology of his life, this fascinating book situates Modigliani anew in the history of twentieth-century art Иллюстрации.  Издательства: The Jewish Museum, Yale University Press, 2004 г Суперобложка, 256 стр ISBN 030010264X Язык: Английский Формат: 225x305 Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.
