La Cariole du père Junier (1919) by Amedeo Modigliani: La Cariole du père Junier features a rural scene of a cart (cariole) driven by the figure of Père Junier, an elder from Modigliani’s community in the South of France. The cart is rendered in the artist’s typical minimalistic style, with simple lines and a muted color palette. Modigliani’s focus on form over detail creates a sense of calm and quiet dignity in the painting, with the cart and its driver standing as symbols of the rural life. The figure of Père Junier is portrayed with an economy of strokes, capturing the essence of age and experience. The surrounding landscape is left sparse, allowing the figure and the cart to occupy a central, almost symbolic space in the composition. Artist: Amedeo Modigliani, Title: La Cariole du père Junier, Date: 1919, Size: 50 x 70 cm, Location: Private Collection.
