Print Edition
Picasso, Modigliani & Modern Art: Masterpieces from LaM Museum鈥 is on show at the Bund One Art Museum.
This is the first collaboration between the Shanghai museum and the LaM (Lille M茅tropole Museum of Modern, Contemporary and Outsider Art) in Villeneuve-d鈥橝scq, France.
Gathering the most influential artists of the 20th century, the exhibition features 61 works by 18 pioneering artists including Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Fernand L茅ger, Georges Braque, Joan Mir贸 and Andr茅 Derain.
Including nine Modigliani works and five Picasso pieces, this is the biggest presentation of Modigliani鈥檚 art in China so far.
Among the nine is the nude female portrait 鈥淪eated Nude with a Shirt,鈥 a painting considered representative of Modigliani鈥檚 style. There鈥檚 also the extremely rare family portrait 鈥淢other,鈥 in which the protagonists are Modigliani鈥檚 last lover, Jeanne H茅buterne, and their daughter, Jeanne Modigliani.
Italian-born Amedeo Modigliani moved to Paris in 1906. He developed a very personal style focused on the human figure 鈥 almost all his paintings are portraits and nudes. He wished to achieve the representation of an ideal figure, condensing the formal characteristics of diverse cultures: classical and Egyptian antiquity, Italian Renaissance, Khmer statuary, African art and modern painting.
Picasso鈥檚 鈥淲oman with a Hat鈥 and other masterpieces are also on display.
The exhibition divides the most influential schools in the first half of the 20th century into four major sections: 鈥淐ubism,鈥 鈥淎medeo Modigliani,鈥 鈥淧ainting in Dreams鈥 and 鈥淐olor and Expression.鈥
One of the most important art museums in Europe, the LaM museum was the first French museum to integrate modern, contemporary and out-of-bounds art. The museum鈥檚 modern art collection comes from Roger Dutilleul (1873-1956) and his nephew Jean Masurel (1908-1991), who, through their keen appreciation of art, assembled an extraordinary collection of masterpieces. These works represent both the collector鈥檚 personal taste and the great artistic movements of the French modern period.
