MODIGLIANI: THE ANGEL OF MELANCHOLY

“When I know your soul, I will paint your eyes”
“It is your duty in life to save your dream.”
Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920)

Amedeo Modigliani gave his life to save his dream. In this presentation, Bea would like to give you a taste of his tragic passion for beauty, art and life.

Bea invites you to rediscover Amedeo Modigliani, the more than handsome Italian Jewish
sculptor and painter, usually drunk, high on drugs, or both in his latter years, ravished by
horrible coughing fits that could last for hours, so much so he had abandon sculpture for
painting because of his lungs and frail constitution.

He slept in trash bins but created unforgettable swan like necked portraits and swooning
elongated nudes, all exuding a kind of sadness, a melancholia whose vulnerability still
touches us today: “Happiness is an angel with a serious face,” he useed to say.

Bea will reveal to you so many things…

Be ready for yet another emotional journey into the life and art of an extraordinary artist!
