Abstract Female Head Sculpture (1913) by Modigliani

Description

This head, carved from stone, shows instantly Modigliani’s fascination with the classical African and Etruscan sculptures. The classical caryatids with their balanced direct lining and their modest beauty inspired him. His later paintings show again elongated shapes and joyful eyes which evoke the poetic atmosphere of early Italian Gothic. Statue replica is from the highly collectible Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection. Amedeo Modigliani’s work is recognized immediately by many people because of the typical elongated shapes.
