Amedeo Modigliani - Violoncelliste, 1909.
« Modigliani n’est pas mort d’alcoolisme, il est mort par manque de charbon ! » C’est comme ça que son ami Charles-Albert Cingria répond à la presse à l’annonce de la mort du peintre en 1926. C’est sa compagne qui le découvre mort de froid dans son atelier taudis. Désemparée, elle court chercher du réconfort chez ses parents, parfaits bourgeois parisiens. On lui répond : « Tant mieux ! c’était un artiste, un étranger et en plus, un youpin ! » Elle suffoque de chagrin, manque d’air, ouvre la fenêtre, respire la fumée saturée par les poêles. Elle se jette dans le vide. Morte sur le coup. Dans son ventre, un authentique Modigliani, fabriqué à quatre mains enlacées.
Klimt, 'Philosophy', 1907 (destroyed by fire in 1945)
Philosophy was the first of the three pictures presented to the Austrian Government at the seventh Vienna Secession exhibition in March 1900. It had been awarded a gold medal at the World Exhibition in Paris, but was attacked by those in his own country. Klimt described the painting as follows: "On the left a group of figures, the beginning of life, fruition, decay. On the right, the globe as mystery. Emerging below, a figure of light: knowledge." Critics were disturbed by its depiction of men and women drifting in an aimless trance. The original proposal for the theme of the painting was "The Victory of Light over Darkness", but what Klimt presented instead was a dreamlike mass of humanity, referring neither to optimism nor rationalism, but to a "viscous void".
