Amedeo Modigliani
Lecturer: Lucrezia Walker
Lecture Date: 18 June, 2024
Living and working in Montmartre and Montparnasse in turn-of-the-century Paris, Modigliani embodies the quintessential image of the bohemian artist: handsome, impoverished, living hard, engrossed in his own distinctive mode of expression, dying young only to be celebrated after his short life ended.
