Amedeo Modigliani’s drawings reveal the foundation of his distinctive style, showcasing elegant, elongated forms and expressive simplicity. Working primarily in pencil, ink and crayon, he produced numerous sketches of nudes, portraits and caryatids, which informed his paintings and sculptures. His line work, often fluid and continuous, suggests a deep understanding of form and movement, with influences ranging from classical sculpture to African art. Many of Modigliani’s drawings were preparatory studies, but they also stand alone as refined expressions of his artistic vision. The immediacy and intimacy of his draughtsmanship offer valuable insight into his creative process and evolving aesthetic.
