"This volume provides a complete overview of the major exhibition of masterpieces by Giorgio Morandi at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Museo d'Arte Moderna in Bologna (MAMbo). Over one hundred paintings, watercolors, drawings, and etchings illustrate the artist's entire creative and poetic course from the landscapes and still lifes of 1913-1914 to his final works of 1963-1964. Particular attention is focused on the masterpieces of the 1920s and 1930s, in which Morandi perfected his extraordinary approach to image making through in-depth investigation of the world and of human existence as filtered through the metaphor of the still life."--Jacket.
