SynopsisThe text of Gualtieri di San Lazzaro (famous critic and gallerist) is a short portrait of Modigliani, of his life and his art. It recalls the Italian painter by reporting the words of his closest friends, that the author got to know after the artist's death. In fact, Gualtieri di San Lazzaro and Amedeo Modigliani, both Italian living in Paris, have never met: when the critic , about twenty years old, arrived in Paris in 1924, the Livournese painter had been dead for four years. Still, as San Lazzaro admitted later, everything in Montmartre and Montparnasse told him about the legendary Modì , and the young Catanese arrived from Rome had the right aptitude for playing the part of the "cousin" in search of the works of the dead relative. San Lazzaro was then a young man with strong literary ambitions, dreaming of a future as a writer: his destiny will change thanks to Leopold Zborowsky, the Polish merchant of the Italian painter. Above all, Modigliani was for him a strong expression of individual freedom, as well as the personification of the modern way of art. And it will be freedom (the same freedom that the rising fascist regime will deny) the trait of San Lazzaro's critical itinerary, covering the most valid researches of the contemporary artistic scene, till the late Sixties., The text of Gualtieri di San Lazzaro (famous critic and gallerist) is a short portrait of Modigliani, of his life and his art.
