Wide of 'Head' sculpture (1911-1912)\u003cbr/\u003eItalian artist Amedeo Modigliani is being remembered at a retrospective of his work, in Madrid.\u003cbr/\u003eThe exhibition, a rare opportunity to see both the paintings and sculptures by the troubled artist, features over 100 separate pieces of art.\u003cbr/\u003eIn addition, the show features a collection of works thought to have inspired the artist the most.\u003cbr/\u003eAn exhibition celebrating the creative talent of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani is being held in Madrid.\u003cbr/\u003eThe show, housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, promises to offer an insight into Modigliani's art and main influences during his turbulent life.\u003cbr/\u003eModigliani's life was marred by poverty, stormy relationships, and drug use, that all led to his premature death 1920.\u003cbr/\u003eBorn into a wealthy cultured Jewish family in Livorno, Tuscany, he left for Paris in 1906 to experience the capital's bohemian life.\u003cbr/\u003eThere he toured art galleries and was deeply impressed by the vitality and suggestive power of works by Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cezanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.\u003cbr/\u003eNot long after, he met Picasso and began to rent a ramshackle studio next to him in the Bateau-Lavoir at 13 Rue Ravignan in the French capital.\u003cbr/\u003eGuillermo Solana, the museum's director, says Modigliani incorporated elements of static sculpture in his paintings.\u003cbr/\u003eBecause of this technique, Modigliani's paintings have a very solemn air, according to Solana.\u003cbr/\u003eOne sculpture, entitled the 'Head', stands close to two portraits of women entitled  'Anna Zborowska' and 'Polish Woman'.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile in Paris, Modigliani was unable to sustain the comfortable existence he had enjoyed with his parents.\u003cbr/\u003eHe soon fell into a lifestyle characterised by the abuse of alcohol, including powerful absinthe, hashish smoking and unusual behaviour.\u003cbr/\u003eHe painted with exaggerated gestures, sometimes shouted at his models and often destroyed canvases when they did not match expectations.\u003cbr/\u003eHis only solo exhibition while alive, at the Berthe Weill gallery in December 1917, was raided by the police for being \"scandalous.\" \u003cbr/\u003eSolana says that after a series of long drawn out negotiations the museum has been able to finally organise a retrospective of the artist's works.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Thyssen-Bornemisza has coaxed private collectors and galleries from around to world to loan significant works by the Italian artist and many of the giants who influenced him.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile deep Italian Renaissance roots are clearly visible in Modigliani's compositions, it is possible to trace how his unique style evolved.\u003cbr/\u003eHis characteristic elongated, oval heads emerged after he was influenced by Picasso's 1907 \"Head\" and Constantin Brancusi's sculptures.\u003cbr/\u003eIn particular a sublime \"Prometheus\" (1911) by Brancusi, loaned by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Italian artist's popularity has soared thanks to exhibitions over the years in Rome, Paris and St. Petersburg.\u003cbr/\u003eSolana says many private owners had to be convinced to lend their prized Modigliani's.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite some initial difficulties, the museum was able to secure 126 works by the artist.\u003cbr/\u003eOne woman attending the exhibition says she never know he was a sculptor.\u003cbr/\u003eOn show is also a large nude of a woman Modigliani painted in 1917.\u003cbr/\u003eAnother visitor says she is surprised by the beauty of his nude portraits.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Italian painter also painted some of his friends, like the poet Max Jacob in 1916-1917.\u003cbr/\u003eOne man says the exhibition has been very well researched.\u003cbr/\u003eSome of the most striking exhibits are sculptures, like the serene \"Head\" (1911-12), hewn out of solid limestone.\u003cbr/\u003eModigliani died tragically of tubercular meningitis on a cold winter's day in January 1920 at the age of 35. \u003cbr/\u003eHis distraught girlfriend, Jeanne Hebuterne, pregnant with their second child, killed herself by jumping from the fifth floor of a building two days later.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Modigliani and his time\" runs from February 5 to May 18, 2008.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
