Modigliani Unmasked includes 150 works and puts a spotlight on the artist’s drawings, with a large selection acquired directly from Modigliani by Dr. Paul Alexandre, his close friend and first patron. The exhibition also features other drawings from collections around the world and a selection of the artist’s paintings and sculptures. Modigliani’s art is complemented by work representative of the various multicultural influences – African, Asian, Greek, Egyptian, and Khmer – that inspired the young artist during this lesser-known, early period.
