Enjoy the art and life of Jewish Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920), as you watch Maverick Modigliani. This film follows Modigliani from his native Livorno (Italy) to the Paris of Picasso and Brancusi. Archival footage and historical re-enactments help imagine the time and the women, who inspired Modigliani’s avant garde paintings. While Modigliani died poor and unrecognized, he has become one of the most highly rated and copied artists in the world.
