"MODIGLIANI" BY STEPHEN BUTLER. FFIRST EDITION, 1994, HARDCOVER, FULLY INTACT DUST JACKET, 144 PAGES, NO INSCRIPTIONS OR NAMES, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Almost the minute he died, Amedeo Modigliani became the central figure in a romantic legend of Parisian bohemia. Popular myth presented him as a dissolute, poverty-stricken painter of erotic nudes and wistful portraits, driven by a passion for women, alcohol and drugs, and finally destroyed by his own excesses. His subsequent artistic reputation has been deeply coloured by this image, but in this volume Stephen Butler attempts to redress the balance and disentangle those aspects of his life that have previously impeded fair assessment of his work.
