Franz Hellens 1919 Private Collection oil on canvas Modigliani Oil Reproductions at 1st Art Gallery |
The French art critic Jean Cassou said that "style is the greatest revelation of the art of Modigliani." The background colors, the detail, and the clothes are of secondary importance. It is the person in the portrait, the startling real emotion, the glow that seems to come from within, the simple elegance of line and shape, that capture the viewer's attention and make Modigliani a great master. |
