Well, after getting five portraits in last year's Frisco City Hall show, only one got into the new show. (I think they're getting bored with my reductive mug shot approach.) I was happy they picked this "self-portrait" of Modigliani. I also did one of his companion, Hebuterne, but that didn't make the cut. For those not familiar, upon his death she threw herself from a high-storied window to her death. In photos, she looks pretty but intense, her face drawn, even before M. got his hands on it and stretched it out even further. In real life, she does not have tiny red eyes like a rat. What do you think he meant by that?
