Daily News | Six hidden gems in ‘Modigliani Up Close’ at the Barnes
This double-sided painting is the first, but by no means the last, canvas that Modigliani used multiple times. Beneath the surface of the two visible paintings are four sketches, including what is possibly a self-portrait beneath. Inna Berkowits, an art historian at the Hecht Museum, called the double portrait essentially “a sketchbook on a canvas.
“When we saw that x-radiograph for the first time with Nancy [Ireson, deputy director for collections and exhibitions and chief curator at the Barnes] and Simonetta [Fraquelli, independent curator and consulting curator for the Barnes] they instantly said, ‘Oh, I know exactly what that looks like,’ and they referred to a painting in the VAC Foundation in Moscow, which is this portrait of Beatrice Hastings,” said the Tate’s Annette King. “The likeness is remarkable.
With a new piece of equipment that the Barnes acquired during the project, curators found “a fairly extensive underdrawing” underdemonstrating that Modigliani changed the position of the arms slightly, which “makes all the difference in her form as it lies across the canvas,” Buckley added.In May 1918, Modigliani left Paris for the south of France. Most of the canvases from this period have similar formats, and the images are “slightly off-center,” said King.
