Amedeo Modigliani · Public domain

A Lithuanian-born sculptor whose early Cubist work retained clear figurative elements before hardening, after 1915, into the geometric, faceted style known as Crystal Cubism. He exhibited in Paris as part of the School of Paris in the 1920s, then fled the Nazis for New York, where he produced major outdoor works including The Song of the Vowels and Bellerophon Taming Pegasus, the latter finished only after his death.
