Arlequin à la guitare (1918) by Amedeo Modigliani: Arlequin à la guitare is a portrait of a harlequin, a character from the commedia dell'arte tradition, depicted with an elongated form and a stylized face in Modigliani’s signature approach. The figure is shown playing the guitar, and the elongated proportions of the body create a sense of elegance and fluidity. Modigliani’s use of color is both vibrant and subdued, with the character’s costume in muted tones contrasting with the lively, rhythmic pose. The guitar becomes a symbol of both artistry and melancholy, and the entire composition radiates a sense of emotional depth despite its apparent simplicity. This piece reflects Modigliani’s ability to blend the theatrical with the intimate, creating a portrait that is both personal and expressive. Artist: Amedeo Modigliani, Title: Arlequin à la guitare, Date: 1918, Size: 81 x 60 cm, Location: Private Collection.
