Portrait of Paul Alexander on green background 1909

Amedeo Modigliani's "Portrait of Paul Alexander on green background" (1909) is a striking example of the artist's signature style. Modigliani, known for his elongated figures and simplified forms, depicts Alexander standing against a vibrant green backdrop. The portrait showcases Modigliani's characteristic use of bold lines and muted colors, creating a sense of both elegance and melancholy. The subject's almond-shaped eyes and elongated neck are hallmarks of Modigliani's distinctive aesthetic, reflecting the influence of African art and the artistic trends of the early 20th century.
