Café Singer
1917
Meet the Café Singer, a striking portrait by Amedeo Modigliani that screams his signature style from a mile away. Notice that impossibly long, elegant neck and those mysterious, blank almond-shaped eyes? Modigliani was obsessed with African masks and Renaissance art, blending them into this dreamy, elongated look. She sits quietly in her dark dress against a moody grey-green background, looking both regal and a little bit melancholic. It's a perfect example of why Modigliani's women are so unforgettable—they feel like they're keeping a beautiful secret.
