Reclining Nude from the Back, 1917 by Amedeo Modigliani

Despite his short life, Amedeo Modigliani’s reputation continues to live on. His work was varied and conveyed a range of emotions, from the primitive to the sensual. He is seen by some as the godfather of modern art, but to many it is his reputation as a hard-living bohemian artist that ensures he will be remembered.
