GiorgioMorandi1890-1964

This volume showcases 116 masterpieces arranged into the four major themes that characterize Giorgio Morandi's work: self-portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and flowers. The collection represents all the various expressive techniques used by Morandi over the years, including painting, etching, drawing, and watercolor.

The volume is the catalog of an outstanding exhibition organized by the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Museo d'Arte Moderna in Bologna. The exhibition will be open in New York from September 16 to December 14, 2008, and in Bologna from January 22 to April 12, 2009.

The exhibition and the catalog also contain a number of photographs of Morandi's studio and quotes from his admirers, as well as the memorable 1958 interview with Edouard Roditi.
