The story of Jeanne Modigliani

Born in Nice in 1918, Jeanne lost both parents when she was a little over a year old. She was taken in by her paternal grandparents and then adopted by Amedeo's sister. She grew up in Livorno, the same city where her father was born. As an adult she moved to Paris to escape fascist persecution and participated in the French Resistance.

After the war she dedicated herself to studying and promoting Amedeo's work. In 1981 she organized in Paris a major exhibition that brought together over 250 works including paintings, sculptures and drawings. Jeanne also continued her own painterly research, creating figurative works and abstract compositions. This board tells precisely that side of her work, where shapes and colors become the subject.

On the back is affixed a biographical note in Spanish, accompanied by a black-and-white photograph of Jeanne Modigliani..
