Amedeo Modigliani paintings in Milan

Milan holds 6 works by Amedeo Modigliani across 2 institutions, including Pinacoteca di Brera and Museo del Novecento.

Modigliani's elongated portraits and nudes — the almond eyes, the long necks, the simplified forms — are among the most distinctive images in early 20th-century art. In person, the paint surface of his best work is richly textured, and the faces have a psychological presence that their stylisation seems at first to preclude.
