Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) moved to Paris as a 22-year-old art student and is regarded as probably the last true bohemien in Montmartre.

The exhibition catalogue to mark the 100th anniversary of his death shows him for the first time as a leading member of the avant-garde who carried the revolution of Primitivism well into the 20th century.

Modigliani's famous nudes, unusual portraits and unique sculptures are contrasted with works by Pablo Picasso, Constantin Brancusi and Andre Derain as well as artefacts from so-called "primitive" cultures. In doing so the volume focuses in particular on Modigliani's lifelong study of the art of Primitivism, which also interested the artist friends who influenced his work.

Some 100 works are on view, including numerous main works by Modigliani from the great museums and most important private collections from America to Asia.
