Synopsis

This survey of the work of 20th-century Italian artist Giorgio Morandi, an increasingly popular subject of exhibits around the world, examines his still lifes, landscapes, and engravings and compares his work to those of similar subject matter. Cézannian concepts, metaphysics, and introspection are among the themes that reveal his boundless affection for domesticity and his desire to surpass it. This retrospective provides insight into Morandi's work and how his aesthetic differs from other 20th-century artists.

About this title

From the Publisher:

he Art Gallery Series is an affordable, high-quality range with a fresh approach, which reaches beyond the usual selection of Old Masters and Impressionists. Alongside books on celebrated figures like Raphael, you will find titles devoted to lesser-known artists such as the Pollaiuolo Brothers, as well as surveys of entire art-historical periods. Subjects range from mediaeval to contemporary and will soon include non-Western art.

This is a flexible series, varying its length to suit its theme: titles on specific artists will have 80 pages (32 color plates) or 112 pages (48 color plates), while those looking in detail at particular periods in art will be 160 pages in length (64 color plates).
