Modigliani and His Secrets - FREE Art Film Screening at the Kimbell
My apologies, I will not be able to attend this event as my job sent me to Chicago for several days.
The museum’s film screening is still taking place and you are welcome to attend on your own and learn about Modigliani.
However, this will now be a no-host / un-hosted meetup event without a meetup event organizer.
I will try and see if I can get a copy of the film for us to stream over Zoom as Modigliani is one of my favorite artists.
Thank you.
Robert

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (US: /ˌmoʊdiːlˈjɑːni/; Italian: [ameˈdɛːo modiʎˈʎaːni]; 12 July 1884 – 24 January 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor of the École de Paris who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures — works that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought after. Modigliani was born and spent his youth in Italy, where he studied the art of antiquity and the Renaissance. In 1906, he moved to Paris, where he came into contact with such artists as Pablo Picasso and Constantin Brâncuși. By 1912, Modigliani was exhibiting highly stylised sculptures with Cubists of the Section d'Or group at the Salon d'Automne.
Modigliani's oeuvre includes paintings and drawings. From 1909 to 1914, he devoted himself mainly to sculpture. His main subjects were portraits and full figures, both in images and in the sculpture. Modigliani had little success while alive but after his death achieved great popularity. He died of tubercular meningitis, at the age of 35, in Paris.
