More insight to the life and work of Modigliani

I have always been a fan of Modigliani and his work, I enjoyed the movie but really wanted to learn more about the man and his life and I did not want to read a novel. I enjoyed the book, learned a lot and enjoyed the photographs. The quality of the art work is very good. This is a good value and even in a paperback book I think it will last a long time.
