Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (12 July 188424 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor who pursued his career for the most part in France. Influenced by the artists in his circle of friends and associates, by a range of genres and movements, and by primitive art, Modigliani's oeuvre was nonetheless unique and idiosyncratic.

Quotes[edit]

  • The function of art is to struggle against obligation.
  • With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself.

Quotes about Amedeo Modigliani[edit]
