Description
Artist: Jeanne Modigliani (1918 - 1984) Artwork Title: Portrait Size: 63 x 48 cm Media: Pastel on paper Artist Info: Jeanne Modigliani was born in Nice on the 29th November 1918. She was soon after adopted and brought up by her aunt Margherita Modigliani, in Livorno, her father Amedeo Modigliani's home town. Her childhood was never discussed until she reached adulthood so she was unaware of the lives and tragic deaths of her parents, who both died when she was only 14 months old. However, life was not to be easy for the child of Modigliani either, and as Fascism deepened its hold on Italy poor young Jeanne was identified and persecuted as a Jew – so she left Italy and, like her father before her, took refuge in Paris where she later joined the French Resistance and she was imprisoned for political reasons. As daughter of painter Jeanne Hebutern and the great master Amedeo Modigliani, Jeanne inherited artistic genes and her works are of a stunning, elegant, refined and sensual quality, albeit painting was only one of her many artistic outlooks in life. Jeanne Modigliani died in 1984 in Paris, at the age of 66. Notes: Probably her most lasting heritage is the faithful and true biography of her father written in 1958 and the product of very intensive, scrupulous and passionate research when she finally discovered who her real father was! "Modigliani, man and myth", was later translated into English from the Italian by Esther Rowland Clifford. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have had some low auctions records but have attracted a lot of interest in recent years. Artworks by Jeanne Modigliani have now become rare collectors items.
