Portrait of Beatrice Hastings

The painting is a stylized portrait of a woman that was created with strong contours and blocks of color. The composition is simplified with strong lines and surfaces, making the figure look a bit abstract. The image is in warm tones, with a predominance of browns and blues on the woman's clothing. The year 1918 is given at the top of the canvas along with the artist's signature, which is probably Amedeo Modigliani.

Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920). He lived a short life and created relatively few works. His painting style is a blend of Cubism, Trecento and Quattrocento and was formed quite slowly. He painted almost solely figures, nudes and portraits, in a very stylized and subtle style. Most significant in his paintings at the sharp lines forming the clear contours and separating large coloured areas from each other (ochre, orange, blue, white and black). Modigliani’s style is distinctive, elegant, but in a certain way also melancholy and sad (perhaps it stemmed from his poor health, which was a result of his disorderly lifestyle and problems with alcohol and drugs). His untimely death was followed by the suicide of his wife and thus brought to an end the typical life of a bohemian genius painter. Modigliani devoted a substantial part of his work to female nudes and the more he painted, the more ingenious they became. Among these is the Red nude.
