While drawing on the achievements of Giotto, Cézanne, the metaphysical painters and the Cubists, Morandi's work finally resembles no one else's, and quietly defies paraphrase: everything is enigmatically clarified in the work itself, in all its apparent simplicity, on terms entirely specific to the artist's compositional gifts, in which respect he might almost be described as the Erik Satie of painting.\u003cbr\u003eThe original writings and interviews collected in this substantial new volume trace Morandi's various influences, illuminate the atmosphere of Bologna that so characterized the artist's sensibility, and allow us to analyze the myth that has formed around his life and personality. Karen Wilkin, editor of this volume and the author of monographs on Georges Braque, Anthony Caro, Helen Frankenthaler, Hans Hofmann, Kenneth Noland and David Smith, has assembled an important contribution to the critical understanding of this great artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ediciones Polígrafa S.A.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9788434314986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Giorgio Morandi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41993181135029,"sku":"9788434314986","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c79b8c68-2116-471c-a580-9db435748884.jpg?v=1648524294","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/giorgio-morandi-works-writings-interviews-9788434314986","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
