There were three important women in Modigliani’s life, among very many : Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, whom he met in 1910 and had one year very turbulent relationship - until she had decided upon returning to her husband; the famous Jeanne Hébuterne, who was his wife and whom he met in 1917; and, between them one Beatrice Hastings who stayed with him for about two years and is featured on very many of his paintings.
Beatrice Hastings was the pen name of an English writer, poet and literary critic whose real name was Emily Alice Haigh; she was a bisexual who also had relationships with women. She shared an apartment with Amedeo between 1914 and 1916, during which she was also his main model.
