This book is great, very educational!
I use this textbook for my Financial Markets class and I learn so much from it. Fabozzi does a wonderful job of transfering his ideas to students so they can comprehend them and learn. Because of this book, I will definately get an 'A' in my class. I recommend this book to anybody.

Amedeo Modigliani: Erotic Sketchbook
Norbrt Wolf

Prestel USA, 2008

This lovely book of Amedeo Modigliani s erotic drawings displays his prodigious artistry in an intimate format. Best known for his distinctive paintings and sculptures, Modigliani drew obsessively and considered this skill vital to his development as an artist. His proficiency, ease, and delight in drawing are clearly in evidence in this collection of nude sketches. The volume, designed to resemble an artist s sketchbook, features stunning ...

Best book out there on Modigliani
For those who love the sensuous work of this early 20th century master, this text is the best on the market. The pictures span the entire short career (he died at age 36) of this artistic genius. There are stunning images throughout. The colour reproduction is superb, and the paper used is of the highest quality. There are excellent, exhaustive descriptions of the artist's life, although the ...

The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2002

Outstanding work!
If you feel any kinship with 20th century modern art, and are unaware of how deeply influential tribal artifacts have been, this two-volume set will be both a delight and a revelation. Suitable as an introduction to both, and useful for novices or connoisseurs. Should you discover an interest in tribal art as a result, and would like to view the remarkable aesthetic range available through ...

Modigliani: Beyond the Myth (Published in Association with the Jewish Museum, New York)

3 reviews

Jewish Museum, 2004

A good catalogue for a good exhibition
There have been many publications on Modigliani lately and also many exhibitions (in Paris, London, NY). This particular book, which is the catalogue for a show at the Jewish Museum, is, in my opinion, the most original one in that it attempts to study the artist setting aside all the rest (that is "the myth"). The beautiful reproductions enable the reader to see what a revolutionary portraitist ...

In the early chapters you will find valuable information about financial systems and institutions, ...

The Modigliani Scandal

Ken Follett

Signet, 1986

Delightful
Why all the negative reviews??? A delightful little mystery, written when he was still an unknown, and I think originally published under some other name? Of course you cannot compare this little book (a short one) with the best of the best sellers today, but you must remember it was written many years ago. Put yourself in 1986 or whenever this was written when you read it. Fans of Ken ...

Modigliani: A Life

Jeffrey Meyers

Harcourt, 2006

Love of the Loved
I cried thinking of the tormented genius we all admired in the recent feature biopic Modigliani starring Andy Garcia. As Jeffrey Meyers points out in his workmanlike bio, Modligiani inspired at least five poems and nine novels, and also there was an earlier biopic which sounds terrific starring from 1958, directed by France's great cinema genius Hacques Becker. This film, Les Amants du ...

Franco Modigliani

Texere, 2001

SCIENTIFIC BIOGRAPHY OF A GREAT ECONOMIST
Franco Modigliani is definitely among the handful of top economists of the 20th century. This book is his autobiography in which he not only describes the events that shaped his very interesting life, but also describes in the detail the fundametals of the theories that eventually led him to receive the Nobel prize. He is well known for two ideas, the lifetime cycle of savings and the ...

Prestel Publishing, 2005

The Best Introductory Book to Modigliani in Print!
This book is a fabulous introduction to the art of Amedeo Modigliani. It was printed in 1996, therefore most of what we know about Modigliani is included in it. The author has done a superb job of addressing the major issues of his portraits and nudes, and is helped by good reproductions. The author is astute in her assumptions about Modigliani's life and art. This is an overview of ...

Bohemian Paris: Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, and the Birth of Modern Art

Dan Franck

Grove Press, 2003

VIVID WORD PICTURES OF A SIGNIFICANT ERA
Part fiction, part art history, Bohemian Paris is a fascinating read. How can it be otherwise when the pages are inhabited by such colorful figures as Picasso. Modigliani, Jean Cocteau, Henri Matisse, Ernest Hemingway and Gertrude Stein? Franck, the author of 15 books, escorts readers on a wide-screen tour of magical Paris during a period of 30 years, 1900 - 1930. That was a time of new birth ...

Modigliani: Colour Library (Phaidon Colour Library)
Douglas Hall

Phaidon Press, 1998

Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was one of the many talents drawn to Paris in the early years of this century. Modigliani engendered the legend of the "accursed" painter, whose poverty, corruption, and excess spawned the seeds of his genius. Among his works, nudes, portraits and studies of a surprising range of personalities and psychological types are represented in this introduction to the artist.

Werner Schmalenbach, Amedeo Modigliani

Prestel Publishing, 2005

Do not read for true Modigliani facts, only opinion.
It is unfair of me to give a headline as above, and then write a paragraph of my opinion, but this is the necessary confines of our situation. Modigliani's art is quite unique from all other art in Paris between 1900-1920. He was barely influenced by the other artists at the time. This is his strength. What the author of this book seems to want to prove is that Modigliani's work is ...
