Monsieur Deleu

1916

Meet Monsieur Deleu, captured in 1916 by the legendary Amedeo Modigliani, who was famous for stretching his subjects into elegant, elongated shapes. Notice the man's strikingly blank, almond-shaped eyes? Modigliani often left the eyes empty, claiming he couldn't paint what he didn't truly know about a person's soul. Dressed in a cozy rust-colored cardigan and a jaunty white cravat, the sitter looks both dignified and slightly melancholic, perfectly embodying the bohemian Parisian vibe of the early 20th century.
