Inhaltsangabe

Presented as the journal of Amedeo Modigliani’s common law wife, Jeanne Hébuterne, who was also an artist, The Violently Colored Life paints an intimate portrait of their milieu in Paris in the early years of the Twentieth Century. Through scenes interspersed with reflections on love, sex, motherhood, and art, Modi, Jeanne, and their friends in Montparnasse come to life as living creatures that transcend their status as icons of a bygone era. They engage in the ceaseless struggle to create in the face of impending death, which comes in many forms: tuberculosis, the Spanish flu, war, suicide, and, just beyond the end of their own story, the second World War and the Holocaust. In addition to Jeanne Hébuterne and Amedeo Modigliani, the book touches on artists Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincent van Gogh, Mary Cassatt, Suzanne Valadon, Juan Gris, Berthe Morisot, Renoir, Camille Claudel, Rodin, and even Leonardo da Vinci.
