Amedeo Modigliani: Léopold Zborowksi, Amedeo Modigliani, 1919, Oil on canvas, Leopold Zborowski was a Polish-born artist, poet, and art dealer who moved to Paris in 1913. He began acting as Modigliani's manager in 1916, commissioning and selling his works and turning a large room in his apartment into a studio for the artist. Modigliani painted three portraits of Zborowski. In this one, the last of the three, we see the stylized features that are characteristic of Modigliani's work: an elegantly elongated neck, icy-blue eyes, a prominent, narrow nose, and a small mouth set within a heart-shaped face. Positioned in an ambiguous interior space, there is little to distract from the dealer's pensive stare; the up-close presentation also suggests the intimate personal relationship between Modigliani and his sitter., Overall: 21 3/4 x 15 3/16 in. (55.2 x 38.5 cm)
