Cariatide by Modigliani (1913-1914)
Amedeo Modigliani's work is recognized immediately by many people for its characteristic 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 once again to devote his attention 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 several 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.
