Style

Amedeo Modigliani belonged to the modern art movement known as Expressionism or Post-Impressionism that emerged in Europe during the early 20th century. His style incorporated elements from African tribal masks along with influences from Renaissance masters such as Botticelli and Titian. In terms of tone used in "Cypresses and Houses at Cagnes," Modigliani applied a unique stylization that blurred the line between realism and abstraction; resulting in elongated figures/forms characterized by smooth contours infused with emotional expressiveness.
