Beatrice Hastings
1914
Step into the bohemian chaos of 1914 Paris, where Amedeo Modigliani captured his tempestuous lover, Beatrice Hastings, in this striking sketch. Notice the signature elongated neck and those mysterious, blank almond-shaped eyes that seem to look right through you, a hallmark of his unique style that blended Cubist geometry with raw emotion. Beatrice was a fierce poet and critic who often wrote under a pseudonym, and their passionate, volatile romance fueled some of his most memorable portraits before they dramatically parted ways.
