What to look for

Amedeo Modigliani: elongated necks and faces, almond-shaped blank eyes and warm, simplified nudes and portraits.

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought after.
