Modigliani(1884—1920)was an artist who found little happiness in his native Italy，but in his adopted land of France he found only sorrow.Out of this unhappiness he created an original and extraordinary body of work，influenced by African art’the Cubist movement and the drunken nights of Montparnasse．

His female nudes，with their deep sensuality and almost aggressive nudity,with their enigmatic faces，seem to express all of Modigliani’s suffering and lack of recognition．

Modigliani died at the age of thirty-six．This book contains paintings which，at the time，caused a great scandal，but which nowadays seem very inoffensive．
