Original Description
Jean Alexandre (recto); Nu Assis (verso) exemplifies Modigliani’s iconic fusion of elegant elongation and raw emotional intensity. Painted in 1915 during his Paris years, the dual-sided canvas captures his signature style: sinuous lines, simplified forms, and a haunting blend of Renaissance portraiture with African mask influences. The recto portrait of Jean Alexandre—likely an art critic—radiates melancholic introspection through almond-shaped eyes and a slender neck, while the verso’s reclining nude (discovered later beneath layers of paint) echoes his scandalous Nu Couché series, challenging bourgeois norms. This work crystallizes Modigliani’s role as a bridge between classical tradition and modernist expression, embodying the bohemian spirit of Montparnasse. Its rarity as a double-sided masterpiece adds to its allure in 20th-century art history, where it symbolizes the tension between public facade and private vulnerability.
For display, prioritize spacious, minimally furnished walls to let the painting’s lyrical forms breathe—a high-ceilinged study or loft bedroom would idealize its poetic scale (typically 40x60cm). Frame it in slim, unadorned black oak to complement Modigliani’s graphic linework, avoiding ornate distractions. Place it against warm neutrals like terracotta or ochre to amplify its earthy palette, or juxtapose with matte sage green for contemporary contrast. In an office, position it near streamlined wooden furniture and soft indirect lighting to echo its tactile, sculptural quality. Avoid cluttering nearby surfaces; let the painting’s dual narratives command attention as a conversation piece. A small spotlight at 45 degrees will enhance the verso nude’s subtle luminosity while maintaining the recto portrait’s dignified gravitas.
