Artists in conversation
Amedeo Modigliani
Italian · b. 1884
Modigliani was a close contemporary of Kisling in the School of Paris and similarly painted sensual reclining nudes with bold contours, warm flesh tones, and rich drapery in vibrant colors against intimate backdrops.
Tsuguharu Foujita
Japanese French · b. 1886
Foujita worked alongside Kisling in Montparnasse and produced similarly composed reclining female nudes rendered in oil on canvas with lush decorative textiles and a sensual modernist figurative sensibility.
Kees van Dongen
Dutch French · b. 1877
Van Dongen shared Kisling's love of bold saturated reds and greens in figurative compositions and painted sensual female subjects in oil with a similarly expressive colorful aesthetic rooted in the School of Paris tradition.
