Seriously! Have you ever heard of a 'Library'? What about google search. In this day and age there is no reason at all for lack of information (if you are really interested.) on any topic you chose. Yes books even have pictures in them ! As to the movie, i hired it a while back and unfortuneatly didnt watch it all. It was a bit of a cliche. Troubled artist struggles through life in order to follow his passion. I dont mind Modigliani's work. His trade mark is the elongated neck and face. This trait of his, reminds me of 'David's Odelesque' with the exxagerated spine of the model used for effect. sorry i ay have come off a bit on the cranky side-- its just that in this world today information is at ones finger tips and the 'old fashioned' library is a fantastic resource.
