Boy in a Blue Shirt 1918

"Boy in a Blue Shirt" is a portrait created by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani in 1918. It showcases the artist's signature style, characterized by elongated faces, almond-shaped eyes, and simplified forms. The figure, a young boy, is depicted with a melancholic expression, typical of Modigliani's portraits. The bold use of color, particularly the vibrant green of the boy's shirt, creates a striking visual contrast against the warm background tones. The painting embodies Modigliani's exploration of human form and expression, while highlighting the artist's unique artistic vision.
