Born in Livorno, Italy, Amadeo Clemente Modigliani (1884-1920) studied under Guglielmo Micheli (1898-1900), at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence (1902), & the Regia Accademia ed Istituto di Belle Arti in Venice (1903). By 1906, the artist moved to Paris, France, where he flourished, & where he passed from TB. The linear form of African sculpture and the depictive humanism of the figurative Renaissance painters informed his work. Modigliani didn't choose to be categorized with the prevailing avant-garde movements of his time, like Cubism, Dadaism, etc..
