Drawing was an ongoing source of visual experimentation for Modigliani as well as the principal means by which he eked out an existence. Living in Montparnasse from 1909, the artist would visit the local cafés every morning in order to draw portraits of the public seated on the terraces. By around mid-day he had generally earned enough to survive until the next day. As the British art writer Clive Bell noted in his life of Modigliani, the artist was above all a remarkable draughtsman. The works on display here corroborate this.
