Amedeo Modigliani is read about 1,739 times a day, in 80 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Those elongated necks and faces - surreal, almost alien - bombed in his lifetime and now sell for fortunes. Modigliani painted a modern vision no one wanted until he was gone.

Every great work of art should be considered like any work of nature.
The function of art is to struggle against obligation.
With one eye you are looking at the outside world, while with the other you are looking within yourself.

Born in Italy in 1884, Modigliani studied antiquity and the Renaissance before moving to Paris in 1906, where he fell in with Picasso and Brâncuși. From 1909 to 1914 he focused on sculpture, exhibiting stylised pieces with the Cubists at the Salon d'Automne by 1912. His portraits and nudes - figures stretched into something between classical and strange - found no audience while he lived. He died of tubercular meningitis in Paris in 1920, thirty-five years old, and the work became sought after only after.
