Jeanne Hébuterne au pull jaune

The war pushed Modigliani south. In 1918, with Paris under threat, his dealer sent him and his young companion Jeanne Hébuterne down to Nice, where their daughter was born. He painted Jeanne here soon after, her neck and face drawn out into the long carved oval he borrowed from the sculpture he had once hoped to make his career. He was already gravely ill with tuberculosis. He died in Paris in January 1920, and Jeanne, pregnant with their second child, took her own life the following day.
