Renoir

Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s early works were typically Impressionistic examples of real life. However, by the mid-1880s, he began painting portraits of women in a more formalized technique.

Modigliani

Amedeo Modigliani painted portraits with elongated proportions, mask-like faces, and a sense of melancholy, while his nudes scandalized audiences. Although Modigliani is best known as a painter, he focused on sculpture early in his career.
