Sitting man on orange background 1918

This painting, "Sitting Man on Orange Background" by Amedeo Modigliani, created in 1918, showcases the artist's signature style. Modigliani's work is known for elongated figures with simplified features and a distinct use of color. The sitter, a man in a dark suit against a vibrant orange background, is rendered with a serene expression. Modigliani's portraiture, often characterized by its elegance and emotional depth, captures the essence of the individual rather than a precise likeness. The painting's simple composition emphasizes the figure's presence and Modigliani's mastery of line and form.
