Amedeo Modigliani, A Retrospective Large exhibition - spring 2016
From 26 February to 5 June 2016
Amedeo Modigliani, A Retrospective Large exhibition on show At the LaM – Lille Métropole Musée d’art moderne, d’art contemporain et d’art brut In the spring of 2016, and in collaboration with the Réunion des musées nationaux (RMN), the LaM will be presenting an exceptional retrospective of the work of Amedeo Modigliani. An Italian painter and sculptor, Modigliani had a brief but fertile career. The Museum holds one of the finest French public collections of the famous artist from Montparnasse: no fewer than 6 paintings, 8 drawings, and a rare sculpture in marble, assembled by Roger Dutilleul and Jean Masurel, founders of the LaM’s collection of modern art. Roger Dutilleul was a passionate collector who met Modigliani in 1918, less than two years before the artist’s untimely death. As an homage to that encounter, the LaM is orchestrating an exhibition that will bring together this exceptional collection, along with numerous new loans. Visitors will be offered a choice of exciting approaches to the pieces, such as the discovery of the artist’s dialogue with antique and non-Western sculpture and his practice of portraiture, another central dimension in his work, which will occupy a prominent position in the exhibition layout. The exhibition will also offer an opportunity to get a better idea of the singular relationship that links Modigliani’s work and the collector Roger Dutilleul.
