Amadeo Modigliani (b. 1884 - d. 1920) was an innovative painter whose portraits and nudes are characterized by elongation of faces and figures. His famous art work crossed my mind when Carla adjusted her hair, creating a beehive effect. My ex-wife is a painter and we sometimes discussed the possibility that the elongated Modigliani style was influenced by strong astigmatism or at least by the use of a cylindrical lens. Modigliani was not a photographer but even he might have appreciated this fine portrait of Carla.
