Head
circa 1913
Blending Cubist geometry with the raw power of African art, this sketch reveals Modigliani's obsession with sculpture during his experimental years. Drawn on humble graph paper around 1913, the elongated nose and almond eyes look almost like a blueprint for one of his famous stone carvings. It's a raw, stripped-down portrait that trades realistic details for pure, rhythmic lines. The crown-like hair adds a regal, tribal touch, proving that even a quick doodle on grid paper can hold the seeds of a masterpiece.
