 Amedeo Modigliani - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Modigliani was born in Livorno, Tuscany and began his artistic studies in Italy before moving to Paris in 1906 where he began to create his unique style, influenced by the artists in his circle of friends, primitive art, but standing apart from them stylistically.
Although a series of Modigliani's sculptures were exhibited in the Salon d'Automne of 1912, he abruptly abandoned sculpting and focused solely on his painting.

Modigliani got drunk on the way to register the child as his own, and she remained officially fatherless, though she was later adopted by his family in Italy.

 Amedeo Modigliani - AMAM
Modigliani arrived in Paris in 1906 and was deeply influenced by the work of his contemporaries: Picasso's Blue Period paintings, and especially the late portraits of Cézanne.
Modigliani is known to have studied paintings at the Uffizi during his student years in Florence, and to have been deeply impressed by Venetian art.
In the majority of Modigliani's compositions, moreover (portraits as well as nudes), contact or exchange with the viewer is blunted by a masklike stylization of the face and blank, inwardly focused eyes; in the Oberlin painting, for example, one eye is shut and the other rendered opaque and pupil-less.

Italian painter, sculptor and draughtsman, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) actively began painting in Paris in 1906.
While in Paris, he was influenced by the Fauves and Cubists, as well as by the sculptor Brancusi, yet Modigliani is most often described as an individualist since his work does not reflect or have any connection with the art movements of his time.
He was, however, first and foremost, an artist and was extremely devoted to his art in spite of his obsessions.
