Our field trip to the cultural center was very short, we spent around 20 minutes at max in the cultural center. We looked at Archibald Motley's work in the exhibit. Wrote a couple of notes and that was it.
The exhibit was nice and spacious, there was distance between each painting which made it easier to look freely. My first impression of Archibald Motley was that he had a lot of nude paintings. He had many nude portraits of a lot of different women.

Modigliani
Modigliani was an artist in the times of many famous artists, such as Pablo Picasso and Diego Rivera. Modigliani was known for his drinking problem, he drank a lot of alcohol during his lifetime. Modigliani and Pablo Picasso were great rivals, they we constantly competing on who was the better artist,Modigliani style of art was painting nude women. The movie showed his life with his loved one Jeanne, the movie showed all the struggle that he lived in, he had no money, he had to steal food and drinks from restaurants to live each day. Modigliani mocked Picasso for his cubism style of painting, at the end of the movie the artists entered a competition, to see who was the best. Modigliani drew his wife Jeanne in her blue dress while she was pregnant and submitted it to the gallery where the art will be shown. Modigliani did not make it, he was in a bar drinking and smoking, for he was poor and did not pay for his drinks the bartender had him followed and beat up severely, his painting won and Picasso was stunned by Modigliani's work, he started clapping as soon as he saw Modigliani's work. Modigliani then died because he had lung issues and he was severely hurt.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE! IT IS DEFINITELY GOING TO BE IN MY TOP 10 MOVIE LIST.
i cannot explain how amazing this movie was, at first i thought i just have to put up with 2 hours of this movie to do my art homework, i then realized that it was an amazing movie! his life was full of ups and downs.
