Wednesday, February 17, 2010, 12:00 pm: Film Series IV, Modigliani

Join us for bagels or brown bag it.  Andy Garcia brings to life artistic genius Amedeo Modigliani's story of tragic love, rivalry and excess in the midst of art history's golden age when greats like Picasso, Rivera, Cocteau and Modigliani held court in the salons of Post-WWI Paris.  The father of his love, Jeanne, a beautiful Catholic girl, opposes their relationship and sends their child off to a convent because Modigliani is a Jew.  He battles for recognition with none other than Pablo Picasso.  Desperate to get his child back, he enters Paris' annual art competition, as does his rival, Picasso.  With so much at stake, the artists take refuge before their canvases, each of their destinies hanging in the balance.
