MODIGLIANI'S WOMAN HEAD

Sent within a month

This is the reproduction of a work made by Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920). Liberating themselves from Rodin's strongly marked personality, art students often tended to practice sculpture and painting at the same time, breaking from the realist style. This period was also marked by the return to primitive an archaic arts as well as by the discovery of African art, of which the incredible synthetism prompted Maillol to state that African sculptors have reduced twenty forms into one. A young Italian artist arrived in Paris in 1906 who practiced the “direct cut” : Modigliani. Around 1909, Brancusi gave him advice, encouraging him with this technique, in which he saw “the true way for sculpture”.
And so one may recognize in this Head of a Woman through the substance of the stone and the hard expression, as well as through the elongated forms and the geometry in the features, that the sources of archaic inspiration or of Baoule art are easily recognizable, giving this work its composite character.
