Amedeo Modigliani, Bohemian Painter
Born in 1884 as the fourth child of a Jewish family in the Italian harbor town of Livorno, Amedeo Clemente Modigliani’s bond with his mother was warm and she educated him at home until the boy reached the age of ten.
Suffering from health difficulties due to a pleurisy attack at the age of 11, the young Modigliani developed typhoid fever just a few years later. At the age of 16 he became ill again and diagnosed with tuberculosis, the disease that at the end would claim his life.
After Amedeo recovered from the second pleurisy attack, he traveled accompanied by his mother throughout southern Italy, visiting destinations such as Rome, Capri, Naples, Venice and Florence.
At the age of 11, Amedeo’s mother wrote in her diary: “The child’s character is still so unformed that I cannot say what I think of it. He behaves like a spoiled child, but he does not lack intelligence. We shall have to wait and see what is inside this chrysalis. Perhaps an artist?” Amedeo is known having painted and drawn from a very young age.
Despite his mother’s misgivings that launching Amedeo on an art school education would impinge upon her son’s other studies, she indulged the young boy’s true passion for the subject.
At the age of 14, while being ill with typhoid fever, the teenager raved in his delirium that he wished, above all else, to observe the art paintings in Florence’s Uffizi and the Palazzo Pitti.
Biographies of Famous Artists
As the local museum in Livorno only displayed a limited number of creations by masters of the Italian Renaissance, the stories he had heard about the sublime works held in Florence intrigued Modigliani, and to him it was a source of considerable despair, in his bad physical condition, that he may never get the opportunity to observe the works in person. His mother undertook to enrol Amedeo with Livorno’s finest art painting master, Guglielmo Micheli.
Amedeo moved to Paris in 1906, then the avant-garde’s focal point. In fact, the painter’s arrival at the artistic experimentation’s centre coincided with the arrival of two other foreign artists, Juan Gris and Gino Severini, who were to leave their marks upon the international art scene as well.
Within a year Modigliani’s reputation had changed significantly. The artist transformed himself from a dapper academician painter into a kind of prince of vagabonds. Modigliani drank heavily, carried on regular affairs, and used huge amounts of hashish and absinthe. While being drunk at social gatherings, he would occasionally strip himself naked.
During his first years in the French capital, Modigliani created art at a furious pace. The artist was sketching constantly, drawing as many as a hundred works a day. However, numerous of his sketches were lost—erased by the artist as inferior, left behind in his regular address changes, or given to his girlfriends who didn’t save them.
In 1909, Modigliani went back to Livorno, exhausted and sickly due to his fast lifestyle. However, soon he returned to Paris, this time hiring an atelier in Montparnasse. Modigliani created a series of portraits of friends and contemporary artists in Montparnasse, immortalizing persons such as Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, Moise Kisling, Chaim Soutine, Diego Rivera, Jean Cocteau, Marie “Marevna” Vorobyev-Stebeslka, Max Jacob and Blaise Cendrars.
In the summer of 1916, Russian sculptor Chana Orloff introduced Modigliani to Jeanne Hébuterne, a pretty 19-year-old art student and model. Hébuterne’s conservative Roman Catholic family did forbid her relationship with the Jewish artist, whom they thought of as a bohemian derelict.
Despite her parents’ objections, they were soon living together, and although Jeanne was his life’s current love, the couple’s public scenes became more legendary than Modigliani’s drunken individual exhibitions.
Modigliani’s first individual exhibition took place at the Berthe Weill Gallery on December 3, 1917. Paris’ chief of police was shocked by the nude paintings and forced closing the exhibition a few hours after its introduction. While living in Nice, Jeanne Hébuterne became pregnant and on November 29, 1918 their daughter with the name of Jeanne was born.
Although Amedeo continued to create art paint, his health was deteriorating quickly, and his alcohol-intoxicated blackouts became more regular…

The Artistic Surrealist Movement
First introduced in the beginning of the 20th century, the artistic movement known as surrealism is most known for the group members’ writings and visual art pieces.
Surrealist artworks feature non sequitur, unexpected juxtapositions and the element of surprise; however, the majority of Surrealist art painters regard their creation as the philosophical movement’s expression first and foremost, with the piece of art being an artifact. Leading surrealist, André Breton’s explicit assertion was that this style of art’s significance was to function as a cultural revolutionary movement.
Surrealist painting art developed out of the Dada activities during the Great War and Paris became the movement’s most pivotal center. From the 1920s onward, the revolutionary movement spread around the world, eventually affecting filmmaking, musical compositions and visual arts of many nations and languages as well as social theory, philosophy, political practice and ideology.
During the early 1920s the movement was characterized by gatherings in cafes where collaborative drawing games were played, surrealist art’s theories were discussed, and several techniques were developed.
Within a short period of time more artists became involved, such as Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Giorgio de Chirico, Yves Tanguy, Max Ernst, Valentine Hugo, Francis Picabia, Alberto Giacometti and, Luis Buñuel, and later after WWII: Enrico Donati.
The automatic drawings by André Masson, created in 1923, often are used as the point of breaking from Dada and the acceptance of visual art, since the artworks reflect the influence of the unconscious mind’s idea. Giacometti’s ‘Torso’ from 1925 is another example, marking his movement being inspired by pre-classical sculpture and simplified forms.
However, a great example among art buffs of the line used to divide surrealist art and Dada is the pairing of Max Ernst’s ‘Little Machine Constructed by Minimax Dadamax in Person’ (1925) and ‘The Kiss’ (1927). The first is in general held to have an erotic subtext and distance, whereas the second features a direct and open erotic act.
Picasso’s drawing style and Miro’s influence are visible with the use of fluid curving, colour and intersecting lines, whereas the first presents a directness which later would be influential in artistic movements including Pop art.
