Paintings by subject — nudes
Amedeo Modigliani — investigation file
NUDESThe nudes are the works by which the painter is most widely known.
The poses follow a classical repertory; Titian and Raphael are the usual comparisons in the literature.
At a date when Cubism was flattening the figure, the nudes return to a modelled Italian curve.
The curve is treated as still capable of volume and expression,
rather than as a linear or planar diagram.
The grouping is documentary and does not constitute an attribution.
Inclusion here is documentary and does not constitute an attribution.
