Amedeo Modigliani: Unravel the Life of the Artistic Genius Who Redefined Beauty! -Art History School

- The Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani lived a traumatic life yet produced some of the most iconic images of the early 20th century. Learn about his life and painting in this Amedeo Modigliani biography. This modern art video covers the life and work of Amedeo Modigliani who was only 35 years old when he died. Modigliani spent most of his working life in Paris and was friends with Picasso, Soutine and many other painters. He was not just a painter, but also a sculptor who worked mainly in France. He is best known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterized by a surreal elongation of faces, necks, and figures that were not received well during his lifetime, but later became much sought-after. His true love, Jeanne Hebuterne, bore him a child but tragically committed suicide when Amedeo died.

A quite comprehensive survey of Modigliani's life and legacy. Many of the works showcased here were new to me, and the best among the surviving pieces support Modigliani's reputation as a seminal artist of the early twentieth century. In terms of his life, Modigliani seems the quintessential example of the bohemian urban artist of the past century, often living a hand-to-mouth existence on society's margins, and his biography often seems to overshadow the actual art he made and its merits. But the art endures, and the best samples of it are worthy to be set beside any works produced in Europe in the troubled second decade of the tragic twentieth century.
Yes, I very much agree. Cheers

Exquisite painter - recognize his style from a mile away. Another rough artist's life but so it goes. Thank you for posting.
His style is unique. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers
This is an amazing channel! I can't believe it's not more popular yet, please keep up the wonderful videos :)
I will do, Cheers
It is just great! I just discovered it. When you mentioned it was not popular yet, I made sure I subscribed.
Just found-
You are right!
Thank you for this outstanding narrative of Modigliani's life and works. It brings so much clarity to his portraits.
Many thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Thank you for this: I didn’t know about Modigliani’s traumatic background. This has inspired me to look at his work more closely. And Jeanne - oh, that poor woman and unborn child! So utterly sad. But European life in post-war 1920 was one big hot mess for so many, this must’ve further exacerbated Jeanne’s distress.
Yes, the video was very much an intro into his life, there is so much I couldn't fit it. Well worth further investigation. Cheers
Everyone who enters my home, stops to stare at my Modi portrait!
Good morning! I woke up and clicked this video while drinking coffee… also “waking up” to the positivity of understanding art history for my own art progress and bigger discussions of culture and ideas. Thank you!
You are very welcome, I hope you enjoyed your breakfast.
@@ArtHistorySchool I intermittent fast so I skip breakfast, but the coffee was incredible. :-)
Same. I’m doing a “politics fast”. So now I’m bingeing on art history videos. It’s so edifying 😌🫖
Thank you so much for sharing this very informative video. I just subscribed to your channel.
The movie Modigliani is well worth seeing. Love his work. Thanks for the well compiled info, and images.
You are very welcome. Cheers
Fascinating art history lesson. So many early works that I've never seen - elegant, abbreviated line drawings. What a shame that he died before he could do more sculpture. I've always thought that should have been his focus. Soutine would be a good subject for a video. Thank you!
Yes, his sculpture was wonderful very much influenced initially by Brancusi. It would have been great to see how it would have developed. Soutine is on my list.
As usual, so outstanding a presentation, Mr. Priestley. 👏🏻 I always appreciate every second and all efforts you pour into each one. Thank you again for sharing your love of art with us!
Thank you very much. They do take some time to produce, but I enjoy the process.Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers
Thanks for a great and long waited video! Modigliani is one of my favorites, and his art never cease to inspire me.
I also love his artist friend Chaim Soutine, a Russian Jew
He was a wonderful artist, quite unique. Cheers
@@jennklein1917 Indeed!
💕
Fascinating. I learned so much about him. Such a dramatic short life not to mention the tragic effect it had on his love, Jeanne.
Very true.
Always interesting. Also I appreciate you showing lesser known artists. Love and peace. Tim
Thanks Tim
The terrible cost of romanticism! Great video. Loved the paintings!
Many thanks. Cheers
Modigliani is one of those artists that deserves more fame. Unfortunately not many people know about him. This video is great, I hope more people watch it and learn about his story!
Many thanks. Cheers
Wonderful collection of artwork and period photos. Thank you!
You are welcome
I didn't know of his sculptures. They're wonderful. Thank you Sir !
You are very welcome. Cheers
One of the best art history videos I’ve ever seen! I love all the images of old Paris along with the constant stream of paintings with the year and his age, you think of everything! Excellent narration I literally can’t wait to go watch all your other movies right now! 👏👏
Thank you so much 😀 Cheers
His daughter Jeanne was a University friend of my father in Florence…. And later she would be a frequent visitor to our home in Liguria…. Jeanne was half Moroccan, and she was the only true friend my father ever had.
Fascinating
My favorite painter! Thank you so much for this video.
You are so welcome!
I don't recall being notified about this, I love Paul's videos and this is no exception, terrific how so much artwork is included alongside the life story, flowing well together and so watchable.
Hi Lynn, if you click the little black bell when you subscribe you should be notified when a new video becomes available. Cheers Paul

The eyes are so dead and lifeless in his paintings. They are such TINY EYES with no light in them. Beautiful emotional art none the less.

@@ArtHistorySchool you may already know that many artists had or ended up with ophthalmic issues such as cataract, retinal disease, color blind, etc…. As an ophthalmic technician there was a course for CME that was about that subject. I found it extremely interesting. Maybe your subscribers would too.
These stories about artists lives are often just as interesting as their own creations themselves!
Cheers
Art History School: REALLY INTERESTING!
Cheers

Love this channel! Please keep them coming.
Thank you! Will do!
This channel is always worth checking out, there's a lot stuff here that's new to me, (particularly the sculpture and the sketches,) and on whole his pictures are much better than I remember them being.
The connection with Brancusi now you've pointed it out is pretty much self evident.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy my channel. Cheers
Deep appreciation for your engaging videos. Serenity.
Thank you
Great work as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you very much!

Love it so so much! Thank you!
Cheers
Sadness and an early demise ……maybe he is looking down and seeing his works of art are cherished and wonderful 🙏!
I have painted many of his paintings…..he is my favourite one of my favourite artist.🇨🇦👏.
He was a wonderful painter and like a lot of people of his ilk lived his life in the edge. Perhaps that's where the true inspiration lies, who knows.
A little daughter survived these two tragic lovers. She was brought up by Modigliani,s family back in Italy &, when grown, she wrote a biography of the parents she never knew.
Yes, you are right. Cheers
So good video!!!! Thank You!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Bravo Paul, congratulazioni.
Cheers
That was very interesting. I knew the basic facts and some paintings, but most of the works shown here were unknown to me, and the details about his background and life... I didn't know them either. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheerrs
Sad and very interesting - I love his paintings of Chaim Soutine.
He was a great painter.
I really appreciate your videos!
Glad you like them! Cheers
Another genius video by the master of art history. Please more, more, more!
I can't wait for more!
I'm a painter myself, so you help me not to feel so alone!
Despite me knowing that I am an absolute nothing, your heavenly vids show me that my thoughts and feelings are not so far away from the fellow artists
And another thing that I am sure of is that you are an important artist yourself, otherwise you wouldn't spread this special atmosphere that you have in those inspiring videos of yours. Thank you 1000 times for the important and wonderful work you do, please never stop making videos, I can't wait to see the next one! Greetings from Austria, with love,, sincerely your fellow artist Christian 🎨.
God bless you and your loved ones 🙏🤗✨
You are a ✨!
Wow, thank you. Much appreciated. Cheers from England
so sad. I love his work
Yes, he was a great painter with a quite tragic life.
Terrific video!
Cheers
Well researched 👏
Thank you
When I know your soul.. I will draw your eyes!

Mr. Paul Priestley, I'm deeply grateful for your super professional approach to the art history and same time very touching personal emotional interpretation & the well-prepared stuff.

Many thanks. Cheers Paul

Gracias!
You are very welcome.
Thank you always excellent
Thank you. Cheers
Great great video! Thank You!
Cheers
Weer een heel mooi verteld kunstenaars leven !
Erg bedankt
Hi sir. Most enjoyable and informative , seems he was a very complex individual and destined to be a brief artistic legend as were so many other artists of his time . At least
Glad you enjoyed the video. He certainly was a complex character, but a great artist.
Thanks a lot sir it's amazing 🙏
Thank you
Amazing story! And great photos reminding me of Paris in the 60s and 70s I wouldn't go there now.
Glad you enjoyed it. Paris is wonderful when they are not rebelling.
@@ArtHistorySchool It's what they're rebelling about that puts me off. But yes I do miss it. Instead I'm ODing on your videos right now. I need inspiration. I have all the ideas but minimal craft/process skill. And half the time I'm waiting for my ipad to recharge:(
Please acknowledge the child at the end. There were 3 people buried, not 2, unless the child survived. However, fabulously engaging account. Not an artist often described. Yet fabulous. I know several very successful artists that have these influences. X
I can't amend the video now I'm afraid. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers
Well, of course the child in utero didn't survive; it fell from a 5th floor window! However, it's two year older sibling, a little girl, did survive, & in adulthood wrote a biography about the parents she never knew.
Love ur intonation, ur performance 👏
Cheers
Thank you 🙏
You are welcome
Brilliant ❤
Thank you
I love your videos. Thank you for doing them so well they are so informative and inspirational ❤️
Glad you like them! Thank you.
