Description: L'Opera Grafica di Giorgio MorandiBy Giorgio Morandi; Lamberto VitaliPublished by Giulio Einaudi Editore, Italy, 1964. Text in Italian, art in… the international language of art. Very good hardcover in very good dustjacket. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text. Illustrated, 8vo, 31 pages of text plus catalog of 131 full page plates, many douple-fold. Dj has edge tears & chips repaired with archival tape, in archival mylar wrapper. Previous owner’s  attractive bookplate to front endpaper features a plumed armet helmet surrounded by attacking bees, “EX LIBRIS LVIGI MAJNO”, “EX BELLO PAX” (Peace from War). Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) Italian painter and printmaker who specialized in still life. His paintings are noted for their tonal subtlety in depicting apparently simple subjects, which were limited mainly to vases, bottles, bowls, flowers, and landscapes. Metaphysical art, futurism, modern realism. Federico Fellini paid tribute to him in his 1960 film La Dolce Vita, which featured Morandi's paintings, as does La notte by Michelangelo Antonioni. One of the main characters in Sarah Hall's novel How to Paint a Dead Man is loosely based on Morandi.[9] Don DeLillo's 9/11 novel "Falling Man" (2007) includes two Morandi still-life paintings on the wall of character Nina's New York apartment, as well as "a show of Morandi paintings at a gallery in Chelsea" at the beginning of Chapter 12. Morandi was a particular favorite of eccentric Scottish poet Ivor Cutler, who included a poem about the painter in his first anthology Many Flies Have Feathers (1973)Two oil paintings by Morandi were chosen by the President of the United States Barack Obama in 2009 and are now part of the White House collection.In 1993 Franco Solmi, at the time director of Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Bologna, together with Bologna Municipality created the Giorgio Morandi Museum, with a donation made by his sister Maria Teresa Morandi, of his works and his atelier, which were owned by the family. Today the museum includes a reconstruction of his studio.Morandi was perceived as one of the few Italian artists of his generation to have escaped the taint of Fascism, and to have evolved a style of pure pictorial values congenial to modernist abstraction. Through his simple and repetitive motifs and economical use of color, value and surface, Morandi became a prescient and important forerunner of Minimalism.He has been written about by Philippe Jaccottet, Jean Leymarie, Jean Clair, Yves Bonnefoy, Roberto Longhi, Francesco Arcangeli, Cesare Brandi, Lambeto Vitali, Luigi Magnani, Marilena Pasquali and many other critics.Loc: C3StoreAdd to FavoritesFeedbackMORANDI Still Life Modern Art Giorgio Metaphysical Futurism Realism Abstract L'Opera Grafica di Giorgio MorandiBy Giorgio Morandi; Lamberto VitaliPublished by Giulio Einaudi Editore, Italy, 1964.
