Almond-shaped, unblinking eyes have made Modigliani's style unmistakable. With their stoic noblesse, his portraits and nudes are icons of modernism. Like Frida Kahlo and Pablo Picasso, Modigliani provoked both rejection and admiration. His early death led to the creation of legends. Only a few of his works are in German collections, Modigliani. Modern Views is the first exhibition in Germany for fifteen years. It revises Modigliani's image by showing him as an artist who focused his gaze on the emancipated woman.
The exhibition Modigliani. Modern Views brings together 56 portraits and nudes by Modigliani in dialog with 33 paintings, drawings and sculptures by artists such as Gustav Klimt, Jeanne Mammen, Pablo Picasso, Natalia Goncharova, Egon Schiele and Paula Modersohn-Becker. The international loans come from the Albertina, Vienna, the Centre Pompidou, Paris, the Musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, the Nahmad Collection, the Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., the Pinacoteca Agnelli, Turin, the Tate, London, the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, among others.
