Man with a Pipe (The Notary of Nice) 1918

Amedeo Modigliani’s 1918 painting, *Man with a Pipe (The Notary of Nice)*, showcases the artist’s signature style of elongated figures and simplified forms. The subject, depicted in profile, holds a pipe in his hand. The painting's composition is characterized by the striking contrast between the subject's dark clothing and the warm, orange background. Modigliani's use of color is limited, but he effectively employs a subtle palette to convey a sense of depth and emotion. This portrait is a quintessential example of Modigliani's artistic vision, which was defined by its elegant lines and haunting beauty.
