The Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani had two things in the fullest intensity: one was the art of painting and another his poverty. Both played vital roles in his short and artistic life. The contemporary painters like Toulouse-Laytrec, Georges Rouault, Paul Cezanne and Pablo Picasso were his favourite and had influenced his art. Deliberate distortion of the figure of the subjects, large spaces covered by the colours, and the free use of flat areas of colour: these were the characteristics of Modigliani’s paintings.

Though he painted very beautiful portraits of unknown and famous people, but his fame came from the paintings of female nudes. Modigliani’s female nudes had unusual faces. Instead of natural looking faces he preferred depicting flat and mask like faces. He painted the eyes of his models, the nude females’, eyes mostly of almond shape. He painted the noses of females a bit twisted. In most of his artistic nude paintings he painted the stretched out neck of the female nudes. It is noteworthy that Modigliani’s female nudes’ paintings had captivating arrangement of curvy lines and flat planes. He had executed in his nudes the striking idealization of feminine sexuality.

His occasional brushes with solid art of sculpture helped him. It was due to his friendship with Constantin Brancusi that helped him to infuse in paintings the aspects like strong linear rhythms, simple stretched out forms, and notable verticality.
