The Sitting · Modigliani's studio · 1917

The Red Pillow

The red velvet pillow · the painting-being-made moment

The pose at the heart of the centrepiece — Kiki on a red velvet pillow, the painting Modigliani never sold.

La Rotonde · Montparnasse · 1915

Kiki × Modi — The Night They Met

Three moments. One encounter that produced the most contested Modigliani in private hands.

The full sequence · 36 seconds · dancing → the glance → the sitting

I · She Walks In

She arrives at La Rotonde. He looks up. She is fourteen and already the most looked-at person in Montparnasse.

II · Dancing

By midnight they are inseparable — the painter who drinks too much and the girl who will outlast everyone.

III · The Sitting

Two years later he asks her to sit. She climbs onto the red velvet pillow. He never sells the painting.
