1915 -1918 · portrait, nude and sculptural line
In Zurich, works associated with the Bührle Foundation confront the direct gaze of the Reclining Nude with portraits of Louis Devraigne and a young woman: same line, three degrees of intimacy.
The Modigliani ensemble linked to the EG Bührle Foundation allows us to compare the way in which a continuous line constructs body and face. The Reclining Nude from 1916 occupies the canvas over a large diagonal, the arms behind the head and the ends cut by the frame. The dark outline encloses flesh almost without modeling; sensuality, confidence and vulnerability coexist in the frontal gaze of the model. The portrait of Dr. Louis Devraigne, dated 1915, transposes this economy to an identified man: elongated neck, inclined head and dark clothing give a reserved presence without accumulation of attributes. Young Woman, from 1918, belongs to the maturity of portraits, when lengthening and sometimes eyes differentiated never removes the singularity of the model. A second interpretation of the Reclining Nude finally makes it possible to measure how much framing and color modify a related pose. The selection "Modigliani at the EG Bührle Foundation" puts particularly in the eyes of Reclining Nude and Reclining Nude. His reading favors atmosphere.
At Modigliani, stylizing does not mean standardizing: the same elongated curve reveals a different attitude in each model.
