Home Decor The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Amedeo Modigliani: Green Tete Sculpture

An Artful Gift For The Museum Lover.

This Striking Tête Or Head Sculpture Pays Homage To The Abstracted Likenesses Created By Amedeo Modigliani (Italian, 1884–1920). In 1909, After Modigliani Met Constantin Brancusi (French, B. Romania, 1876–1957), He Began Carving Stone Sculptures In The Form Of Stylized, Elongated Heads, Producing About 25 In Total. His Sculptures, Like His Painted Portraits, Draw Heavily From African, Ancient Cycladic, Sumerian, Egyptian, And Greek Art.
