Woman with Red Hair
1917
Amedeo Modigliani’s signature style is on full display here, featuring a woman with a dramatically elongated neck and mysterious, blank almond-shaped eyes. Her fiery red curls contrast beautifully against the cool, muted blue-grey background and her dark dress with a white collar. Painted in 1917, this portrait captures the bohemian spirit of Paris, where the artist was famous for his tragic life and distinctive figures inspired by African masks. The way she casually rests her hand on the red chair gives the piece a relaxed, intimate feel despite the strikingly surreal proportions.
