Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was a Jewish-Italian painter and sculptor who worked mainly in France. He is known for portraits and nudes in a modern style characterised by the elongation of his faces and figures. He was greatly influenced by Italian Renaissance representations of Venus. His Girl in a Sailor's Blouse, with her elongated face, almond-shaped eyes, small mouth and long neck is emblematic of the modern art of this time.
From March 1918 until May 1919 the ailing Modigliani lived in the south of France-mainly in Nice-to recuperate in the healthy climate. Lacking his usual coterie of friends, he employed local young servants, shopgirls, and children as models.
