Mild shelfwear and some erased pencil numbers inside, but all stickers are in Fine condition. 16 stickers of sixteen different paintings by Modigliani, including Paul Guillaume, The Swedish Girl, The Little Milkmaid, Reclining Nude, and others. From inside/back: Perhaps the greatest Italian artist of the twentieth century, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) created a number of memorable paintings during the last five years of his life that revealed an intriguing distortion of form and a sensitive use of color. Modigliani was an individualist whose paintings couldn't be categorized into any art movement. He was, however, influenced by Fauvism, Cubism, and African art. His artwork consists of portraits and nudes with simple forms and lines—many of them with elongated faces. To use the stickers, simple peel and apply.

When Bob Turbett got out of the cab in front of Mrs. West's, the first thing he noticed was the lawns. He was the man who would have to mow them. It was his summer job, helping out at Mrs. West's in return for room and breakfast while he was study at summer school. The house was an angular gray monster; the woman who opened the door to his ring had eyes that blinked and roamed, and uncared-for hair, held in place randomly. She said she was Miss Summers, Mrs. West's sister. "Mrs. West doesn't feel up to seeing you right now," she said. "You're going to have the room on the top floor. Betty Clay used to have it, but she's a paying guest now, on the second floor." Miss Summers was about to help Bob carry his things up to the… Read More
