Cariatide by Modigliani (1913-1914)
Amedeo Modigliani's work is recognized immediately by many people because of the typical elongated shapes. 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 Chaim Soutine, his new neighbor. 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. |
