The artwork “Head” by Amedeo Modigliani is a limestone sculpture created between 1911 and 1912 in Paris, France. It falls within the Expressionism art movement and exemplifies the genre of sculpture.
The artwork is characterized by its elongated features and abstract form, typical of Modigliani’s style. The head, with its elongated face and neck, thin nose, and almond-shaped eyes, exudes a sense of elegance and refined simplicity. The smooth surface and the overall shape emphasize a modernist abstraction, reducing realistic depiction to its essential elements. This sculpture reflects Modigliani’s distinctive approach to capturing the essence of his subjects through stylized forms and evokes a calm, contemplative feeling through its serene expression.
