Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) ist einer der größten - und am meisten missverstandenen - Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. Seine prägnanten Porträts, erotisch geladenen Akte, schönen Zeichnungen und primitivistischen Skulpturen werden seit Jahrzehnten bewundert. Modiglianis Werk wurde jedoch typischerweise im begrenzten Kontext seines sogenannten böhmischen, anti-intellektuellen Lebensstils untersucht. Dieses bahnbrechende Buch überarbeitet diesen Ansatz in Richtung Modiglianis Kunst und präsentiert eine überzeugende revisionistische Untersuchung der einzigartigen historischen, sozialen, religiösen und kulturellen Bedeutung seines Werks. Modigliani: Beyond the Myth betrachtet den Künstler und seine Kunst aus einer Vielzahl wichtiger Perspektiven: sein stolzes Erbe als sephardischer Jude, dessen Spiritualität die nicht-westliche, klassische und christliche Ikonographie umfasste und gleichzeitig seine eigene ethnische Identität bewahrte; sein kritisches Engagement mit den Dialogen der radikalsten seiner avantgardistischsten Zeitgenossen (Picasso, Soutine, Matissi se und Brancusi); der Einfluss von Stammeskunst und Judentum auf sein Porträt; die Darstellung des weiblichen Aktes in seinen Werken aus einer feministischen kulturellen Perspektive; und der bemerkenswerte Empfang seiner Arbeit in Italien zu Lebzeiten. Aufwendig illustriert und mit einer detaillierten Chronologie seines Lebens positioniert dieses faszinierende Buch Modigliani neu in der Geschichte der Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts.

His incisive portraits, erotically charged nudes, elegant drawings of caryatids, and primitivistic sculpture have been admired for decades. Modigliani's work, however, has typically been examined in the limited context of his so-called bohemian, anti-intellectual lifestyle. This book revises this approach toward Modigliani's art, presenting a revisionist examination of the unique historical, social, religious, and cultural significance of his oeuvre. Modigliani: Beyond the Myth looks at the artist and his art from a variety of important perspectives: his proud heritage as a Sephardic Jew, whose spirituality embraced non-Western, classical, and Christian iconography while retaining its own ethnic identity; his critical engagement and melding of tribal and ethnographic art with Judaism in his portraiture; the representation of the female nude in his works from a feminist cultural perspective; the remarkable reception of his work in Italy after his death, and the failure of traditional art history to account for or analyze these important aspects of his life and work." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Modigliani against the grain, by Mason Klein; The faces of Modigliani: identity politics under fascism, by Emily Braun; Making and masking: Modigliani and the problematic of portraiture, by Tamar Garb; Modigliani and the bodies of art: carnality, attentiveness, and the modernist struggle, by Griselda Pollock; Epilogue: The Modigliani myth, by Maurice Berger.
