Seated female nude (1913-1915)
Based on the original
from Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920)
In 1912, the art of sculpture
seemed to have taken a heavy toll. Modigliani was completely exhausted by the
heavy and dusty work. He was forced to devote his attentions once again to
painting and was inspired by Chaïm Soutine, his new neighbour. He was
particularly impressed by the technique and definitive lines of this Lithuanian
Impressionist.
Modigliani's sculptures were heavily inspired by
traditional African and Oceanic sculpture. Ths charcoal sketch displays the same
sculptural characteristics..
