Download or read book Giorgio Morandi Late Paintings written by Giorgio Morandi and published by David Zwirner Books. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most beloved painters of the twentieth century, Giorgio Morandi created works that continue to exert their mysterious power on viewers worldwide. This publication focuses on the period from 1948 to 1964, during which Morandi developed and refined his investigations of serial, reductive, and permutational forms and compositions, a body of work that has had a profound influence on twentieth-century art and painting. Included here are five of the ten iconic “yellow cloth” paintings from 1952, a series featured prominently in the historic 1998 exhibition at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and numerous late paintings by the Italian master. Lavishly reproduced, these immersive plates draw attention to the idiosyncratic perspectival and color-driven decisions that give the work its abstract power. The catalogue is published on the occasion of the 2015 exhibition of Morandi’s paintings from this period at David Zwirner, New York—which, according to The New York Times, represent “lucid perfection, at once cerebral and impassioned.” It marked the first major presentation of the artist’s late work in America since the acclaimed 2008 retrospective at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. In addition to an essay by Laura Mattioli and a foreword by David Leiber, who organized the exhibition, this catalogue includes a fantastic array of contributions by contemporary artists: John Baldessari, Lawrence Carroll, Vija Celmins, Mark Greenwold, Liu Ye, Wayne Thiebaud, Alexi Worth, and Zeng Fanzhi. They offer their personal responses to Morandi’s work and to the Zwirner exhibition in particular. Working in different media across many disciplines, this diverse list of contributors is a testament to the reach of Morandi’s paintings and their influence on contemporary art.

Book excerpt: "This book presents an invaluable survey of Giorgio Morandi's drawings, watercolors, and etchings, selected mainly from British and American collections." "Morandi was a reserved artist who rarely left his studio in Bologna. He focused his extraordinary artistic sensitivity upon the same motifs again and again, each time depicting them anew. He was a master engraver, and his celebrated etchings - of which there are few - reveal the artist's unmatched ability to express lightness and depth. For Morandi, drawing - as Renato Miracco writes in his introductory essay - represented the first physical manifestation of the idea, a concrete trace of a largely metaphysical quest." "This essential volume - the second in the series I Quaderni dell'Istituto italiano di cultura di New York, which began with the works of Fausto Melotti - conveys an atmosphere of meditation and suspended reality, where simple shapes and muted colors reveal a parallel world that the viewer may gently enter." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) built his visual lexicon from the most minimal of props--dust-covered bottles, bowls, vases, pitchers, tins and boxes. From it, he composed delicious permutations of quiet still lifes, in the most muted yet luminous of palettes, transforming the genre of still life into a cosmos. The composer Morton Feldman once wrote that in his own work he was "interested in getting to Time in its unstructured existence... How Time exists before we put our paws on it," and in this sense Morandi may be his counterpart in paint: his painted objects seem to possess a subtle self-sufficiency and interiority. Accompanying a recent exhibition at the Phillips Collection, Washington D.C., this beautifully designed catalogue contains a selection of reproductions buttressed with two essays by Morandi experts: Flavio Fergonzi appraises the myths that have attached to Morandi, the history of his critical reception and the cities with which the artist was particularly associated; Elisabetta Barisoni discusses Morandi's reception in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented catalogue exploring the formal and visual affinities and contrasts between Josef Albers and Giorgio Morandi—two of modern art’s greatest painters. Rarely seen together, the artworks of Josef Albers (1888–1976) and Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) share many similarities. Although they never met, both artists worked in series as they explored difference and potential through their distinctive treatment of color, shape, form, and morphology. They were also both influenced by Cezanne. As master illusionists and experts in proportion, they tackled similar conceits from different perspectives. Albers focused on the effects of subtle or bold changes and interactions in color, while Morandi made still lifes that treat simple objects as a cast of characters on a stage, exploring their relationship in space. Published on the occasion of the critically acclaimed exhibition Albers and Morandi: Never Finished at David Zwirner New York in 2021, the book illuminates the visual conversation between these two artists. With the exhibition hailed by The New Yorker’s Peter Schjeldahl as “one of the best … I’ve ever seen,” this publication brings this unusual, thought-provoking pairing to your home. Gorgeous reproductions are accompanied by a roundtable about form and color between the exhibition’s curator, David Leiber; Heinz Liesbrock, the director of the Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop; and Nicholas Fox Weber, the executive director of The Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, as well as an essay by Laura Mattioli, the Morandi expert and founder of the Center for Italian Modern Art.

Download or read book In situ written by Giusi Vecchi and published by MAMbo. This book was released on 2017 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In In Situ, Traces of Morandi, American contemporary photographer Catherine Wagner (b. 1953) considers the poetry and austere structural logic of Giorgio Morandis still-life paintings in a new body of work. Following a two-year residency at Casa Morandi, Wagners reflections inspired by the assorted objects, drawings and ephemera in Morandis studio were presented at Museum of Modern Art, Bologna / Museo Morandi (2017), accompanied by this elegant and fully illustrated catalog. In her work, Wagner constructs new still lives from Morandis objects, shifting notions of light, space and form in her vaporous images in which solid objects appear elusive or caught in the aura at the edge of a shadow. Sampling the color palette in Morandis exquisite and subtle paintings, Wagner creates intimate color fields. A conversation between the artist and curator Giusi Vecchi provides insight into Wagners long career. An essay by Peter Benson Miller, director of the American Academy in Rome, reflects on the work of both artists.
