Livorno puts the high school
report cards of Amadeo Modigliani (1884-1920) on display, while
a large successful exhibition dedicated to the artist for the
centennial of his death continues.
The report cards emerged from research at the historical
archive of the Niccolini Guerrazzi high school in Livorno, where
Modigliani was a student.
They are being displayed in the exhibition "At Dedo's
School", a look at high school life during the years Modigliani
attended, at the library in via Ernesto Rossi in the current
Niccolini Palli high school.
The exhibition was made possible after never-before-seen
documents and materials were found, including the grade
register, report books, and the register of the autumn session
of 1898, allowing for a reconstruction of the artist's school
life when he was enrolled at the Niccolini Guerrazzi high school
from 1893-1898 from year one to year five.
The exhibition will be open to the public with free entrance
from January 16 to February 17.
Meanwhile the exhibition "Modigliani and the Adventure of
Montparnasse" continues at the Museo della Città through
February 16, which has thus far welcomed more than 45,000
visitors.
A total of 133 works representing the Ecole de Paris are on
display.
The 100th anniversary of Modigliani's death will take place
this year on January 24, and in the exhibition the artist is
represented by his unmistakable portraits and a collection of
rarely displayed drawings, works accompanied by masterpieces by
Soutine, Utrillo, Derain, and Kisling.
