THE STORY & DESCRIPTION
An incredibly chic, sophisticated mid-century modernist artwork that beautifully bridges classic Italian avant-garde composition with post-war British printmaking.

This piece features a striking minimalist, single-line contour portrait titled "Il Frate" (The Friar), executed as an elegant homage print after Amedeo Modigliani’s original 1914 masterpiece drawing.

The artwork is hand-signed in pencil along the lower margin by celebrated contemporary British artist and master printmaker Bernard Cohen (b. 1933), the esteemed former director of the Slade School of Fine Art.
