Have you ever heard of the Bohemian artist, Amedeo Modigliani?

I discovered this amazing, yet misunderstood artist of the 20th century, at the Art Gallery of Ontario yesterday when I went to the press preview of the exhibition. This is the first solo exhibition in Canada and represents more than 80 paintings, drawings and sculptures by Modigliani (1884-1920). I personally loved the portraits of his lover, with twisted noses and almond eyes. They are really interesting.

The show will be open to the public from October 23, 2004 to January 23, 2005. If you are into paintings and cultural activities, don’t miss the exhibition! It’s definitely worth it.
