Modigliani
Fantastic exhibition at Tate Modern looking at the life and work of Amedeo Modigliani.

I loved a wall of four pictures of women illustrating these different styles. I liked the film of Paris at this time which really added to the atmosphere. It was lovely to have a room devoted to Modigliani’s sculpture as his original intention was to be a sculptor. The room focused on female head studies and again showed a variety of styles. I liked the more minimal works with flat eyes. My favourite room looked at his friends in Paris at the start of the First World War which was like being at a wonderful party at the time.
