Tree and house 1919

"Tree and House" is a 1919 painting by Amedeo Modigliani, considered one of his final works before his untimely death in 1920. The painting, located at the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel, depicts a simple, yet evocative scene of a tree standing beside a house. The artist's signature elongated forms, reminiscent of his iconic portraits, are evident in the tree's slender branches, while the house's geometric shape adds a sense of architectural solidity. The muted palette and seemingly unfinished quality of the work are characteristic of Modigliani's later style, reflecting a raw and introspective approach to his subject.
