Woman's Head
Published 2019-05-02T11:39:13+00:00
Description
After meeting Constantin Brancusí, in 1909, Modigliani began to carve in stone, resulting in about twenty-five known sculptures. These abstracted, elongated heads had a significant stylistic impact on his subsequent figure and portrait paintings. It is fitting that this work, with its strong connection to African sculpture, was originally owned by French artist Frank Burty Haviland, whose famous collection of African art Modigliano knew well. Modigliani's sculptures also reflect his knowledge of ancient Cycladic, Sumerian, Egyptian, Greek and Oceanic Art.
