Amedeo Modigliani


Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was a key figure of early 20th-century art. Living in Paris from 1906, he associated with artists such as Picasso and Brancusi and took part in the most important artistic debates of the day.

Nonetheless, his determination to remain apart from any movement or school has meant that his work has received little attention from traditional art historical scholarship.

The exhibition Modigliani and his Times, jointly organised by the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Fundación Caja Madrid (5 February to 18 May 2008), and the associated course, will aim to return Modigliani to the position that he merits by presenting his work in a dialogue with that of his masters and fellow-artists in Monparnasse.
