Modigliani and Hébuterne

I went to the museum in Bunkamura titled "Modigliani and Hébuterne, the tragic couple" (http://www.bunkamura.co.jp/english/museum/event/index.html) with my friend. Since I had the blues because of my goddemn work, doing different things uplifted me. Although Modigliani and his wife passed away when they weren't enough old, I kind of envy them in that they could devote their life to arts. I would like to spend time in appreciating litterature or movies, but my daily life doesn't give me the time to do so.


According to Wikipedia:

Amedeo Clemente Modigliani (July 12, 1884January 24, 1920) was an Italian painter and sculptor who pursued his career for the most part in France. Modigliani was born in Livorno, Italy and began his artistic studies in Italy before moving to Paris in 1906. Influenced by the artists in his circle of friends and associates, by a range of genres and movements, and by primitive art, Modigliani's oeuvre was nonetheless unique and idiosyncratic. He died in Paris of tubercular meningitis—exacerbated by a lifestyle of excess—at the age of 35.
