Out of this discontent came forth Modigliani's original work, which was influenced by African art, the Cubists, and drunken nights in Montparnasse.His portrayal of women-sensual bodies, almost aggressive nudity, and mysterious faces-expresses their suffering and feelings of being unloved and unjustly disregarded. Modigliani died at the age of 36 UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/bcsl-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1707351 ER -
