ID: #5048 | Expresionism | Portraits

This painting depicts a portrait of a woman with a penetrating gaze. She is wearing a blue coat with a white collar and a wide-brimmed hat. The woman's face is modeled with rough brushstrokes and bold hues, with the eyes and mouth highlighted in red. The painting style is expressionistic with abstract elements that give the work an intense emotional charge.

Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920). He lived a short life and created relatively few works. His painting style is a blend of Cubism, Trecento and Quattrocento and was formed quite slowly. He painted almost solely figures, nudes and portraits, in a very stylized and subtle style. Most significant in his paintings at the sharp lines forming the clear contours and separating large coloured areas from each other (ochre, orange, blue, white and black). Modigliani’s style is distinctive, elegant, but in a certain way also melancholy and sad (perhaps it stemmed from his poor health, which was a result of his disorderly lifestyle and problems with alcohol and drugs). His untimely death was followed by the suicide of his wife and thus brought to an end the typical life of a bohemian genius painter. Modigliani devoted a substantial part of his work to female nudes and the more he painted, the more ingenious they became. Among these is the Red nude.
