Amedeo Modigliani in 10 Paintings

Amedeo Modigliani’s paintings radiate with uniqueness due to his specific way of portraying the subjects. A long oval head with small facial features, and specifically almond-shaped empty eyes, along with an elongated body and somber tones, make his works instantly recognizable. Although he was an Italian-Jewish artist, he spent most of his career in France, where his art was often linked to Cubism and related to the stylized masks of African, Egyptian, and Asian cultures. He struggled to gain recognition during his lifetime, but after his death in 1920, his work found the fame and admiration it had long been denied.

Title: Amedeo Modigliani qua 10 Kiệt tác Hội họa

Description: Những bức họa của Amedeo Modigliani tỏa sáng với nét độc đáo riêng biệt nhờ cách thức khắc họa nhân vật đặc trưng của ông. Một khuôn đầu hình oval dài với những nét mặt nhỏ nhắn, và đặc biệt là đôi mắt hình hạnh nhân trống rỗng, cùng với thân hình duỗi dài và những sắc thái u tối, khiến tác phẩm của ông có thể nhận ra ngay lập tức. Mặc dù là một nghệ sĩ người Ý gốc Do Thái, ông đã dành phần lớn sự nghiệp tại Pháp, nơi nghệ thuật của ông thường được gắn liền với trường phái Lập thể và có liên hệ với những chiếc mặt nạ được phong cách hóa của các nền văn hóa châu Phi, Ai Cập và châu Á. Ông đã phấn đấu để được công nhận trong suốt cuộc đời mình, nhưng sau khi qua đời năm 1920, tác phẩm của ông đã tìm thấy danh tiếng và sự ngưỡng mộ mà từ lâu đã bị phủ nhận.

The Black and White World of Felix Vallotton’s Prints

Felix Vallotton is, in my opinion, one of the most underestimated modern artists. I haven’t heard about him in my art history lectures at university. He never gets to all those “best of classics”, “all art in the world you must know,” and other books or articles of this type. This is simply outrageous. Vallotton, a Swiss/French painter and printmaker, was associated with the Nabis. But, to be honest, it is very difficult to pigeonhole him into one style, or any particular style. Vallotton is Vallotton.
