Features: A, a, a, a, a, a. Modigliani was not regarded as a creator of easel paintings; he was not a leader or a flag-bearer. With the warm, slender nudes, the hazy and languid poses, and the vibrant colors in his works, he took us back to the decadent era of the 20th century, showcasing the unique anxiety of a Jewish painter, as well as the disillusioned fantasies imbued in his works by tension and rationalism. It can be said that Modigliani did not bring us a new painting language, but rather a "new harvest."
Modigliani was a descendant of the philosopher Spinoza. While distracting our classical memories, he also gave us a distinct way of distinguishing him among the greatest portrait painters of the 20th century—their portraits all resemble members of the same family. In the most delicate human faces, his portraits provide humanity with a character chart. People admire Modigliani and do not wish to have imitators.
