Capturing the Human Figure

Artists have been portraying the human figure, in various forms and styles, since antiquity. 

Modigliani, 1916 [Modern]

The paintings above depict the human figure across four major art periods. Countless movements have brought their unique styles and perspectives to portraiture and the human figure. Today, in contemporary art, it remains as compelling a subject as ever to artists and art collectors. How could we ever tire of it? It’s a deeply personal subject that may never fail to fascinate us.
