This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated volume, based on new scholarship and featuring contributions written by distinguished American scholars, explores the myth that surrounds Modigliani -- including his troubled personal life and his death at age 35 -- and re-examines the position he holds within the history of early 20th century art.
