The artwork titled “Dancer” created by Amedeo Modigliani is an ink-on-paper drawing that belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It measures 55 x 46 cm and is categorized under the genre of nude painting (nu). This remarkable piece is currently housed in a private collection.
The artwork features a dynamic and somewhat abstract representation of a dancer, accentuating bold lines and strong contrasts of black ink on a neutral background. The figure is portrayed in a seated position, legs crossed, conveying a sense of movement and grace. Modigliani’s characteristic linear style and expressive use of ink produce an evocative composition that emphasizes both form and emotion. The artist’s skillful manipulation of ink lends the piece a striking immediacy, highlighting the raw and unembellished beauty of the human form.
