Amedeo Modigliani’s modern aesthetic was characterized by his subject’s mask-like faces, which drew inspiration from African art, and his elongated figures. In 1919, Modigliani painted the polish woman Lunia Czechowska, in Woman with a Fan. Two years before the painting was stolen from the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Peter Lindbergh photographed Julianne Moore wearing a marigold Calvin Klein sweater-dress in homage to Modigliani for Harper’s Bazaar’s June, 2008 issue.
