David Cornell on Modigliani: 'I think his drawn line is so good and pure, his nudes are so sensual and earthy the more one looks at his work the more I appreciate it. His portraits are poetic and his sense of colour simple and so effective. I love the red maroons and grey blue of some of the backgrounds. He always wanted to be a sculptor but due to bad health couldn't cope with the dust. His work is so pure, symbolic and pagan in style reminisant of Brancusi and the mystery and romance of his life appeals to me'.
