Giorgio Morandi “Still Life (1956)”
I was first exposed to Giorgio Morandi ((July 20, 1890 – June 18, 1964) in a used art book I picked up somewhere. It was a compilation, with one small art image and a brief artist bio on each page.
I read of an Italian painter who focused on still lifes of boxes and bottles on a small shelf in his studio. Even with just a small reproduction of one of Morandi’s works, I knew I was looking at a magical kind of painter.
Morandi’s deceptively simple, quiet pictures are powerful, masterly examples of painting. He fulfilled the Modernist philosophy that the craft of how a thing is done is the true subject, no matter what is depicted.
