Modigliani Exhibition at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa

Palazzo Ducale in Genoa hosts a major exhibition of Amedeo Modigliani, featuring around thirty masterpieces from top national and international institutions. The show highlights Modigliani's extreme sensitivity through a dialogue of faces suspended in warm colors. Influenced by Cézanne's synthetism and a vibrant artistic climate, Modigliani moved permanently to Paris in 1909, surrounded by artists and writers who populate much of his work. The exhibition includes iconic nudes like 'Nudo accovacciato' (1917) and 'Nudo disteso' (portrait of Celine Howard, 1918), as well as drawings, watercolors, and studies. It explores Modigliani's passion for sculpture abandoned due to respiratory issues, his fascination with primitive art and the Trocadero, and the influence of Brancusi and Toulouse-Lautrec. The show celebrates an artist misunderstood in life but posthumously acclaimed, whose work marks a rupture in modern art history. The exhibition runs at Palazzo Ducale in Genoa.
