An in-depth exploration of how the iconic artist created his works throughout his entire career. Among the most recognizable figures of modern art, Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920) has been the subject of many exhibitions and publications, but none so far have thoroughly examined the way in which the artist created his paintings and sculptures.

Drawing from research using the latest scientific techniques, the authors analyze the artist's reuse of materials in his early years; his shift away from artistic movements such as Cubism to engage with a stylized form of portraiture; the chronology of his provocative sculptures; and his evolution in approach from heavily worked canvases to more ethereal paintings.

The richly illustrated book also examines the role of Albert C. Barnes, an early collector of Modigliani's work, in shaping the critical acceptance of the Italian artist in the United States. The Barnes Foundation today holds one of the most important groups of Modigliani's works in the world. These, along with another forty paintings and sculptures from public and private collections worldwide, are interpreted through the lens of new studies conducted by leading international museums.
