Modigliani and His Times

Modigliani and His Times brought together 126 works with the aim of analyzing the career of Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), from the time he arrived in Paris in 1906 to his early death. The principal innovation in this ambitious project was that for the first time Modigliani's work was presented in a direct dialogue with that of those artists who influenced him--Cézanne, Gauguin, Picasso and Brancusi--and with that of his friends in Montparnasse, including Marc Chagall, Jacques Lipchitz, Chaïm Soutine, Moïse Kisling, Ossip Zadkine, Tsugouharu Foujita and Jules Pascin.

Modigliani and His Times was jointly organized by the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza and Fundación Caja Madrid.
