His life had been as dramatic as his death. An Italian Jew from a bourgeois family  \"Modi\" had a weakness for drink  hashish  and the many women-including the Russian poet Anna Akhmatova-who were drawn to his good looks. His friends included Picasso  Utrillo  Soutine  and other important artists of his day  yet his own work stood apart  generating little interest while he lived. Todays art world  however  acknowledges him as a master whose limited oeuvre-sculptures  portraits  and some of the most appealing nudes in the whole of modern art-cannot satisfy collectors demand.  With a lively but judicious hand  biographer Jeffrey Meyers sketches Modigliani and the art he produced  illuminating not only this little-known figure but also the painters  writers  lovers  and others who inhabited early twentieth-century Paris with him.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648080896053,"sku":"ByrdShop_0151011788","price":25.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780151011780.jpg?v=1781708861","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/modigliani-a-life-9780151011780","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
