Modigliani’s Painted Nudes: A Technical Study

This article is part of an ongoing research project into Modigliani’s nude portraits that began on the occasion of a Modigliani exhibition at Tate Modern in 2017–18. Through technical analysis of the artist’s materials and processes, the article charts the development of this well-known body of work, expanding the corpus of paintings under investigation to eight nudes painted between 1916 and 1919.
