Oh - and the Modigliani exhibit was really cool. I think my favorite pieces were "Alice" (a painting of a young brown girl with a cross around her neck), "Rose Caryatid with Blue Border" (he liked the idea of female figures holding great amounts of weight), a sketch he did of a young girl, and a painting by another Montparnasse artist entitled "Sun, Tower, Airplane" or something to that effect. The last piece is very vibrant and cubist. To see more examples of Modigliani's work and to read about his life and other artists of Montparnasse, check out Who is Modi?
