| Literature: | For some reason, this work in "paspartout" [passepartout) is dated 1931. But Modigliani died in January 1920. Mistake on the part of the ERR? The only known portrait of Cendrars by Modigliani was executed in 1917. Drawings of Blaise Cendrars were sketched by Modigliani in 1917 and 1918, one of which is at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, France. |
