More about this artwork
Amedeo Modigliani’s "Girl in a White Blouse" (ca. 1915) is an evocative portrait that showcases the artist’s signature style, blending elements of modernism with deep, emotional expression. The painting depicts a young woman, her face elongated and features stylized in a manner that is quintessentially Modigliani. Her neck is gracefully elongated, and her eyes, almond-shaped and enigmatic, meet the viewer with a gaze that is both penetrating and aloof.The subject's skin is painted in warm, rosy hues that contrast strikingly with the muted tones of her white blouse, which is adorned with simple, yet elegant, patterns. The background, rendered in darker, indistinct shades, helps to focus the viewer’s attention on the subject, allowing her quiet, contemplative expression to resonate more powerfully.This portrait not only captures the unique aesthetic that Modigliani is known for but also reflects his ability to convey the soul and inner life of his subjects through minimal yet powerful brushstrokes.

Born in Livorno, Italy, Modigliani (1884-1920) later moved to Paris in 1906. There he was acquainted with many great artists including Pablo Picasso, Juan Gris, and Constantin Brancusi. Inspired by the artworks of Edvard Munch, Paul Cézanne, and Toulouse Lautrec, Modigliani has developed his signature style: portraits and sensual nudes with long, simplified forms, and elongated mask-like faces featuring eyes with no pupils.
