Inhaltsangabe

Giorgio Morandi is one of the most admired Italian painters of the twentieth century - throughout his career he produced subtle and contemplative paintings, largely still lifes. His work is valued for its simplicity, quietude and his obsession with a single genre; paradoxically, it is also celebrated for its complexity, resonance and openness to multiple readings. The consistency and intensity of Morandi's exploration is perhaps what also made him the quintessential 'artist's artist'.
In this book, Donna De Salvo and Matthew Gale reassess Morandi's reputation and consider his continuing significance for artistic practice today through an examination of works produced largely in the twenty years up to his death in 1964. Texts by contemporary artists and architects are included, revealing their perception of Morandi's achievement and its relevance to their work.
