Giorgio Morandi: The Art of Silence
By Janet Abramowicz
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964), an Italian painter and printmaker renowned for his simple yet majestic still lifes, is also famous for his legendary reputation as a recluse, an artist who resided in a world bound by the walls of his Bologna studio. Giorgio Morandi: The Art of Silence significantly broadens this view of Morandi and is the first and only study in English to cover his career in its entirety as well as in the sociopolitical and cultural context of Italian art during his lifetime.
