...Fogg shows 32 pencil drawings by the most delicate and, perhaps, most sensitive of the modern Italian artists, Amedeo Modigliani. This, too, is a fine exhibit, and the Museum is to be especially congratulated for the show's handsome appearance. In one corner, the Fogg devotedly displays the death mask of the artist, wreathed by laurel leaves, and, in another, placed potted ivies. This tasteful presentation complements the subdued, distinctiveness of the works exhibited. It is also a tribute to the knowing connoisseurship of Stefa and Leon Brillouin who have over the years built up this valuable collection...
...various mornings-after between 1908 and 1920, Amedeo Modigliani carved and painted in Paris a few hundred works of purity, warmth and glamour. Almost all the pictures represented people he loved, but with rubicund flesh, swan necks outstretched, ski-jump noses and sightless, slanting eyes. They were men and women molded to a very private vision of how humans ought to look, a vision that only Modigliani's power as a designer could put across and make seem beautiful.

Cabiria (Lopert) is the best of the Italian contributions, remarkable chiefly in the story it tells. "Vieni qua," says the famed Italian actor (Amedeo Nazzari).

"Oh," she answers him, dazed with all the magnificence and trying desperately to live up to it, "I'm not like...
...Biff! Bang! Wallop!" In search of a hero for his sensational novel of the 19205, Montparnos, which established the claim of Montparnasse as a rip-roaring Bohemia to rival the prewar Montmartre, M.G.M. uncovered such unknowns as Amedeo Modigliani and Utrillo, recounts how on their first meeting the two great painters exchanged coats as a token of mutual admiration. Then one said: "You are the world's greatest painter...
...founder of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, son of its second editor-publisher, he had been surrounded by art at home from childhood, and had sharpened his taste in four years as a fine arts major. In 1936 Joe Pulitzer made his first leap as a collector, bought Amedeo Modigliani's Elvira Resting at a Table (opposite). For the next two decades he kept buying paintings and sculpture. Today, at 43, Editor-Publisher Pulitzer (he succeeded his late father in 1955) owns about 140 works of art and has become one of the U.S.'s fastest rising collectors...
