Lecture Series: Bohemian Paris of Amedeo Modigliani
Part 1: Bohemian Paris of the 19th and 20th Century – Propaganda and Marketing of Bohemia
Discover the vibrant world of Bohemian Paris through the eyes of Amedeo Modigliani, an Italian Sephardic Jew who found his artistic home in the avant-garde capital of the early 20th century. This lecture explores the evolution of Bohemia—both real and imagined—shaped by Romanticism, revolution, and rebellion. Learn how artists like Modigliani, Toulouse-Lautrec, Utrillo, and Picasso marketed their unconventional lifestyles, transforming Paris into the epicenter of creativity and artistic notoriety. Join us as we uncover the fascinating interplay of art, culture, and self-promotion in the storied neighborhoods of Montmartre and beyond.
