Amedeo Modigliani was born in Livorno, Tuscany. His parents are Jewish and his mother can teach French and English. At the same time, she also educated Amelio Modigliani into a weak but elegant child. His childhood should be poor, but his mother managed to give him a good education. 1898- 1900, Amedeo Modigliani studied painting from the famous landscape painter Michele, and then dropped out of school due to illness.

1906 He is 22 years old and has just arrived in Paris. At that time, Paris was the peak of the Fauvism craze, and cubism was about to become the mainstream of painting. Young people from the countryside stood on the streets of Paris and looked around, really feeling at a loss. He was inevitably influenced by neo-impressionism, Cubism and African art, but he tried to find his own way. What he really wants to do is sculpture, which is greatly influenced by Broncusi. However, due to lung disease, it is not suitable for interacting with dust, and stones are not easy to obtain (or afford), so there are not many works that really stay. It is not difficult to see the influence of sculpture on him from his paintings. Cezanne used cones and spheres to deal with nature. Influenced by them, amedeo modigliani used ellipsoids and curves to describe characters. The figure modeling of African primitive art has become an elegant and meticulous portrait, and the classical traditional art training he received as a child is unconsciously revealed from his pen.

He is both traditional and modern. This impure quality is one of the reasons why he can't be widely favored by contemporary buyers. No one knows how he formed his own unique style in just a few years. His paintings were almost like that when they came out. In the first three years of his death, he raised his artistic level to a perfect level.

There are many rumors about his drinking, drug abuse and debauchery. In the movie, a lot of negatives are wasted on it. If a painter is drunk every day, when can he sit down and paint? And finished the most wonderful work of his life in just a few years? The biggest failure of the film is to write about the poverty of Amedeo Modigliani in a romantic way, which seems to imply that artists are like this. They live in disorder, do not produce, drink and smoke every day, and never mention his financial source.

In fact, in his second year in Paris (1907), Amedeo Modigliani met the first collector in his life, Dr. Paul Alexander, and gave him financial support to live and create. 19 14 at the age of 30, Amelio modigliani met BeatriceHastings, a British female journalist and poet, and lived with her for two years. This story is not mentioned at all in the movie, of course, because she wants to add up the depth of him and Jane Eyre.

At the same time, Amedeo modigliani met the second nobleman in his life-Zboroskwi, a Polish painter. He was very kind to him and promised to sell paintings for him all his life, and he really kept his promise and took care of him until Amedeo modigliani died.

After leaving the female journalist, the next year, 19 17, Amedeo Modigliani met his wife Jane. Under the care of agent Zboroskwi and his wife, life gradually settled down and his works became mature. At the end of the year, it was arranged to be exhibited at BertheWell Gallery. On the same day, the police ordered the cancellation of the public exhibition on charges of obstructing weathering, and no painting was sold. This is the only solo exhibition in his life.

Amedeo Modigliani has a soft spot for portraits. It is said that he can draw 100 sketches a day. It can be seen that he paints people around him with his eyes, some with his eyes and some without them. This is his unique symbol. What does he want to express through this symbol? Nowadays, only viewers can experience it for themselves. In the movie, it is said that Jane's eyes will not be painted until she really knows her. Finally, Jane saw the paintings of artists competing in the salon. The portrait that Amelio Modigliani painted for her has two eyes, and she cried. The painters present, mainly Picasso, clapped their hands, which of course means that the works of Amedeo Modigliani won the championship. Seeing this scene, I just feel that the director is too lazy and the effect of this play is too popular.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, which is the hint given by the director. No eyes means no soul? Eyes represent the soul? This classification of Amelio Modigliani's paintings, to be honest, is very abrupt! Among the four portraits of Jane listed here, two have no eyes, one of which is the one where she sat in front of the bed in blue when she was pregnant.

Amedeo Modigliani is undoubtedly a genius. Even in Paris, the capital of art, how many people-including artists-really understand his paintings? The paintings he could sell before his death were very limited, and it was rare to spend a few strokes. Most of his meager income is spent on drinking. He is poor and ill, and his talents are not noticed. It is understandable to drown your sorrows by drinking, or even give up on yourself. Strangely, a genius whose life is so miserable and frustrated, the characters he painted are surprisingly elegant, meticulous and spotless, as if by a pampered painter.

Maybe this is the eternal mystery. His daughter wrote a book for him called Modigliani: Men and Myth. I don't know the content. Literally, it reminds people of the mystery of amedeo modigliani. The legend of a painter has become a myth, which can also be said to be the legend left by Amedeo Modigliani to future generations!
