Description
One of the most fascinating things about the art nude genre is that it can be seen across a number of painting styles. In “Reclining Nude” by Amedeo Modigliani, hints of everything from Cubism to Impressionism to Surrealism can be seen. There are broad, geometric shapes combined with gentle shading and quick brushstrokes. In addition, some exaggerated qualities that make it appear both mysterious and dreamlike in nature. This painting is a prime example of the way in which Modigliani defied categorization during his short life as a renowned painter. This incredible work was painted in 1917-18, creating a scandal upon its initial release in Paris. In 2015, it was sold for $170 million at a New York auction, at that time the second highest price ever for an auctioned work of art.
