The controversial darling and target of the popular press: Scandalous Amedeo Modigliani To contemporaries, Amedeo Modigliani was the very definition of Parisian Bohemia, the controversial darling and target of the popular press and the model on which many a novel, play and film was based. As an artist, the scandalous Modigliani made his name chiefly with his celebrated pictures of women, with almond eyes and long necks and bodies. His style had ancient roots that lay deep in classical antiquity or Africa. But his portraits of intellectual giants of the age, friends such as Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau or Diego Rivera, were inimitable also. In Doris Krystof's study, the scene Modigliani was the hero of comes alive, and his sensitive paintings and sculptures speak in tongues. About the Series: Each book in TASCHEN's Basic Art series features: a detailed chronological summary of the life and oeuvre of the artist, covering his or her cultural and historical importance a concise biography approximately 100 illustrations with explanatory captions

His work continues to be a significant contribution to modern art.

Con un estilo muy fluido y un lenguaje muy cercano al periodístico, Cendrars nos cuenta la vida de un hombre extraordinario: el escritor y aventurero Jean Galmot que, después de amasar una enorme fortuna en la Guayana, llega a conocer la prisión y la ruina. Al dibujar el retrato de un hombre idealista atrapado por su innato sentido de la libertad, el autor logra construir una especie de Quijote paradójico en lucha contra los poderes coloniales. Diputado por Guayana, Jean Galmot fue acusado de especulación en el affaire del ron de 1919, y durante el proceso, en el que se defendió a sí mismo, se presentó como un empresario altruista atrapado por las maniobras hostiles de los grandes grupos financieros del mundo parisino. Acorralado, proclamó su amor inquebrantable por el pueblo de Guayana, que lo llamaba «papá Galmot», y juró defender su libertad hasta la muerte.
