Portrait with elongated forms

Most of you were right.  El Greco and Amedeo Modigliani are two artists who lived in very different times. But their styles show one common characteristic, they both liked to paint human figures and portraits with elongated forms. Their works are distinguished by their expressiveness and the light.




Here I post some of your masterpieces. Well done!
