Amedeo Modigliani was the epitome of a tragic artist. Although he purposely created a life in which chaos; poverty; and trouble lurked in every corner; he was a prolific artist. He sketched furiously; sometimes drawing over 100 sketches in a day; but many of his works were lost; given away; or in some cases; destroyed by Modigliani himself. His favorite subject was by far the human form; painting the likenesses of other artists; such as Pablo Picasso; Diego Rivera; Max Jacob; and Juan Gris; who all sat for the artist. His formal works are characterized an elongation of the human form and mask-like faces; and his work is so unlike any other of his time that it still defies classification.
