阿梅代奥·莫迪里阿尼是一位悲剧艺术家的缩影。他出生于意大利的一个资产阶级家庭，后来放弃了学术上的教养，甘心地沦为贫困的流浪汉。十几岁时，他正式接受了生活画家的教育，很快就养成了对裸体的痴迷。1902年，他移居佛罗伦萨，在贝利艺术学院学习，在“裸体研究自由学校”，一年后，他作为初出茅庐的艺术家移居威尼斯，在那里他第一次抽大麻。只有在他发现了麻醉剂之后，他才形成了一种哲学信念，即通向创造力的唯一途径就是无视社会规范和生活中的无序。就这样开始了一辈子的痛苦与堕落的美丽，这将最终以他的过早死亡和他悲痛的妻子和他们的未出生的孩子的自杀而结束。莫迪里亚尼很小的时候就染上了肺结核，而且经常被身体状况恶化所困扰，这可能是他如此乐意从事自我毁灭行为的原因之一。他住在巴黎，他和女人有交往，酗酒，吸大麻，喝苦艾酒。在醉酒的昏迷中，他经常在社交聚会上脱光衣服。他反对一切资产阶级的奢侈生活方式，因而剥夺了它们的生活，甚至毁掉了他早年创作的画。
>虽然他有意创造一种混乱的生活，贫穷和厄运潜伏在每个角落，但他是一位多产的艺术家。他画得很凶，有时一天画100多幅素描，但是他的许多作品要么丢失，要么被丢弃，要么在某些情况下被莫迪利亚尼自己毁掉。到目前为止，他最喜欢的科目是人类的形象，画其他艺术家的肖像，如巴勃罗毕加索，迭戈里维拉，马克斯雅各布，和胡安格里斯，谁都坐在艺术家。他的正式作品的特点是人形的延伸和面具般的面孔，他的作品与他那个时代的任何作品都不同，至今仍无法分类。在他那个年代，其他艺术家仿效他，以自我毁灭的生活方式，今天，他的遗产在九部小说、一部戏剧、一部纪录片和三部故事片中得以延续。-阿梅代奥·莫迪里阿尼-

Amedeo Modigliani was the epitome of a tragic artist. Born to a bourgeois family in Italy, he later shunned his academic upbringing and willingly devolved into a poverty stricken vagabond. He was formally educated as a life painter in his teens, quickly developing a life-long infatuation with nudes. In 1902 he moved to Florence to study at the Academia di Belle Arti, at the “Free School of Nude Studies,” and a year later he moved to Venice as a fledgling artist, where he smoked hashish for the first time. It was only after he discovered narcotics that he developed the philosophical belief that the only path to creativity was through defiance of social norms and disorder in life. Thus began a life long affliction with corrupted beauty, which would ultimately end with his untimely death and the suicide of his grief-stricken wife and their unborn child.
Modigliani contracted tuberculosis at an early age, and was constantly stricken by his deteriorated health, which may be one reason why he so willingly engaged in self-destructive behavior. Living in Paris, he had affairs with women, drank heavily, smoked hashish, and drank absinthe. In a drunken stupor, he would often strip naked at social gatherings. He was against all of the excesses of a Bourgeois lifestyle, and thus stripped them from his life, even destroying paintings that he had made in his earlier years.
Although he purposely created a life in which chaos, poverty, and doom lurked in every corner, he was a prolific artist. He sketched furiously, sometimes drawing over 100 sketches in a day, but many of his works were either lost, given away, or in some cases, destroyed by Modigliani himself. His favorite subject was by far the human form, painting the likenesses of other artists, such as Pablo Picasso, Diego Rivera, Max Jacob, and Juan Gris, who all sat for the artist. His formal works are characterized an elongation of the human form and mask-like faces, and his work is so unlike any other of his time that it still defies classification. During his time, other artists emulated him by engaging in a self-destructive lifestyle, and today, his legacy lives on in nine novels, a play, a documentary, and three feature films.
" I would like my life to be like a rich river flowing joyfully on Earth " - Amedeo Modigliani -
