The School of Paris is an artistic movement that took place in Paris in the early 20th century. It brings together a group of international artists who chose to live and work in Paris, and were influenced by the advances of Impressionism and Fauvism. The artists of the School of Paris explored various styles and techniques, and were at the forefront of Expressionism, Abstraction, and Cubist art. They were also very active in the artist circles, exhibitions, and salons of Paris. This movement created a formidable artistic and cultural emulation between foreign and French artists. The 1950s marked the end of the peak period of this movement, although some artists associated with the School of Paris continued to exert their influence after this date. The most famous artists of this movement include Amedeo Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, and Kees van Dongen.
Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was an Italian artist known for his portraits and modernist style sculptures. Born in Livorno, Italy, Modigliani grew up in a family of Sephardic Jews and studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Livorno and the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris. Modigliani turned to painting and sculpture after being diagnosed with bone tuberculosis, which eventually caused his premature death at the age of 35. His works are characterized by their formal simplicity and inner expression, and he is best known for his portraits of women with elongated features and sad eyes. Some of his most famous works include "Reclining Nude" (1917), "Young Girl in Red Dress" (1918), and "Head of a Woman" (1919). His works have been widely celebrated and are considered one of the most important contributions to modern Italian art.
