When he arrived in Paris in 1906, Amedeo Modigliani, a Jewish artist of Italian origin, was a painter. His meeting with Constantin Brancusi, a sculptor of Romanian origin, in 1909, acted as a revelation for him: he was introduced to sculpture and devoted himself almost exclusively to it until 1914. His break with this practice was as sudden as total: from 1914 to his death in 1920, he returned to painting and produced numerous paintings devoted mainly to the human figure alone. It is this practice of painting which is at the heart of the relationship between the artist and the dealer. Paul Guillaume encouraged him, rented him a studio in Montmartre, and made his paintings known in Parisian artistic and literary circles. He buys, sells and collects his works.
