Amedeo Modigliani Playing Cards

PLAYING CARDS celebrating the work of Amedeo Modigliani (1884–1920), one of the most distinctive figures of early modernism. In his short life, Modigliani created some of the era’s most recognisable portraits and nudes, defined by elongated forms, simplified features and a profound sense of elegance and intensity.

Working in Paris in the early 20th century, Modigliani developed a figurative style influenced by classical sculpture and non-Western art, including African carving traditions. This fusion resulted in a visual language that is both timeless and modern, where human form is reduced to essential, expressive lines and subtle emotional presence.

This pack of Modigliani playing cards features 54 carefully selected works, showcasing his most iconic portraits and figure studies. Each card reflects his unique approach to form, balance and emotional restraint, capturing the quiet power of his art.

A distinctive and elegant gift for lovers of modern art and portraiture, and a compelling addition to any collection of art playing cards.
