Zenmastermanlove - THE ART OF ZEN

Italian Jewish painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani was born on this day in 1884, known for his reclining nudes and portraits with elegantly elongated features. This fall, our exhibition of early drawings will illuminate Modigliani’s heritage as an Italian Sephardic Jew as pivotal to understanding his artistic output. Modigliani Unmasked will consider the celebrated artist shortly after he arrived in Paris in 1906, when the city was still roiling with anti-Semitism after the long-running tumult of the Dreyfus Affair and the influx of foreign emigres. Modigliani’s Italian-Sephardic background helped forge a complex cultural identity that rested in part on the ability of Italian Jews historically to assimilate and embrace diversity.
