Jodigliani

The artist on the right, whose work is presently on display at the Curtis Memorial Library, was said to be influenced by the work of Modigliani, who painted the portrait at the left. However, in the portrait at the upper right you will notice use of pastels and an original background that makes a wry comment on the figure in the work. I suspect we shall be hearing much more from this artist in the future.

  1. Glad to see some artistic content that is vastly more uplifting than all the guff about how cold it is!

  2. I believe the comment above constitutes what Aba referred to as a SLASH.

    1. No dessert for this unreconstructed SLASHER...

  3. I confess never to have heard of Modigliani before this, but noticed that it seemed like just the kind of name hummed aloud in one of Aba's ditties...nice to see he's made it now in this thread thrice.

    So here I go.

    For Aba
    Oh, did you see her
    bonnet strings trailing as she went
    down the lover-ly cowpath
    Modigliani was her name, yes
    Modi-modi-modigliani...

  4. I believe I have seen the still life of the apple in the D'Orsay at some point. That is one fine artist!
