Amedeo Modigliani | Sculpture
Only 27 sculptures by Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) are known to exist.
In his sculpture, Modigliani, (Italian painter and sculptor), tried to capture the raw, primitive and mysterious power of African masks, as well as the beatific smiles of Cambodian or Khmer heads.
In their hardness, Modigliani's sculptures represent a conscious attempt to get away from the soft modelled surfaces of Rodin's sculpture.
