Modigliani Blue-Eyed Woman

Three-dimensional reproduction of Amedeo Modigliani’s Woman with Blue Eyes of 1918, held at the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris.

The figurine, in porcelain-finish resin, was worked and hand painted by the expert and qualified craftsmen.

The women painted by Modigliani share an empty gaze, often without pupils, and a slender neck. The absence of pupils is interpreted in two ways: as a pictorial choice linked to his difficulty in relating to women or, in a more romantic interpretation, as his refusal to paint their eyes because he did not know their souls.

Historical Curiosities

Amedeo Modigliani, avant-garde artist of the 20th century, is famous for his stylized portraits and elongated figures. In his depiction of the Blue-Eyed Woman, the large, penetrating eyes are a distinctive element that embodies his interest in introspection and the enigma of the soul. Modigliani found inspiration in African art and tribal masks, which influenced his stylized figures. Although little appreciated in life, he is today recognized as a master of modernism.

Maintenance

To preserve the sculpture, it is recommended to clean it with a soft, dry cloth, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight.
