Paintings Reproductions Madame Pompadour, 1914 by Amedeo Modigliani | WahooArt.com
https://WahooArt.com/Art.nsf/O/8YDERS/$File/Amedeo-Modigliani-Madame-Pompadour.JPG
This is one of the most famous portraits created by Modigliani. The painting is of a woman named Beatrice Hastings, who had a love affair with the artist for over two years, and sat for many of his paintings. This portrait illustrates the artist’s style of turning the face into a mask-like image, and the elongation of the form of the body, in this case an exaggeratedly long and thin neck. The subject is also perhaps a bit of a social critique, as the pompadour is also in his stylized, exaggerated form of simple lines, using a traditional image to steer away from the traditional style of painting.
