Black Jaguar (after Modigliani)

Pairing:
Girl in a Sailor's Blouse by Amedeo Modigliani
Image of a vintage Jaguar automobile

Acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 37" x 30"

Artist's Insights:
Q. The blue-black reflections on the front of the automobile are striking. Is this the salient feature of this painting?

A. Yes, but the most interesting aspect of this painting, I think, is the fact that the steering wheel is on the right because the Jaguar is an English car. Notice that the Modigliani figure is not the driver! The steering wheel fills a good part of the space on the left and the size of the unencumbered right side was just large enough to fit the elongated face of the Modigliani thus providing the needed balance.

Original for sale.
