Young Lolotte by Modigliani Art Print

Young Lolotte by Modigliani Art PrintNo, the warm brown doesn't soften the room. It defines it. Modigliani's Young Lolotte brings a quiet, watchful presence the kind of portrait that makes a room feel considered rather than decorated. Hang her above a writing desk, a reading chair or a console in the hallway, where her gaze can meet you as you pass. She works against chalky off white, dusty grey green or deep clay walls, and sits happily near walnut, aged leather, linen and stoneware.

Portrait orientation makes it a strong solo piece on a narrow wall between a door and a window

Sunny living rooms

neon colour or anything busy and patterned right next to it — the calm is the point

It works on white tile

Portrait format means narrow walls between windows work too

busy wallpaper — the loose lines need a bit of breathing room

and asks the rest of the furniture to keep up

an oak shelf with a few books

the blue keeps it lively
