Amadeo
Modigliani

This handsome and eccentric artist,
born in 1884 in Italy, was known
for his mournful, elon-
gated faces. Today,
his paintings fetch
millions and hang
in the most

famous art galleries in the world
— though he spent most of his
adult life destitute.
Modigliani's parents were
both Sephardim. As a child,
Amadeo suffered constant illness,
later diagnosed as tuberculosis. He
studied art in Florence and Venice
before coming in 1906 to Paris,
where he became friendly with fel-
low painters Chaim Soutine and
Maurice Utrillo.
Modigliani both painted and
sculpted, often trading his
sketches for a meal at the cafes
where he lingered. He died of
tubercular meningitis in 1920.
(Note: As you color this costume,
you might want to make the scarf
red. Modigliani was rarely seen
without a red scarf tied about his
neck.)

Emma Goldman

Born in 1869, Emma Goldman was an American anarchist, writer and lec-
turer. She was born in Kovno, Lithuania, and came to the United States in
1885. Here, she started a journal called Mother Earth which was filled with
stories about injustices in American society.
In World War I, Goldman became a leading spokesman against the
draft, for which she was sent to prison. In 1919 she was deported to the
Soviet Union, but two years later she left that country. Her primary concerns
were the rights of the individual and equality for all, which she said she
could not possibly flourish under any governments she saw.
The author of numerous books, she died in 1940 and is buried in the
United States.
