Giorgio Morandi意大利, 1890–1964Still Life
关于作品
Giorgio Morandi was committed to the genre of still life, which was a staple of his art for more than 40 years. He said, “Nothing is more surreal . . . more abstract than reality.” Like Cézanne, Morandi explored the illusion of vision by depicting three dimensional objects so that they seem to be apparitions. The bowls and teacups seen here were drawn as flat shapes that seem light and ephemeral.
