Best known for his disarmingly simple depictions of bottles, vases, bowls and jars grouped together on tabletops and painted in exquisitely muted natural colors, the beloved twentieth century Italian painter Giorgio Morandi was also an exceptional interpreter of the medium of engraving. This charming, concise volume, published to coincide with a spate of fall 2008 exhibitions--including a major survey at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art--collects drawings, watercolors and etchings selected mainly from British and American collections. They range across all of Morandi's favorite motifs, from the famous still lifes of humble objects to the landscapes, cityscapes and objects from the sea. Giorgio Morandi was born in Bologna, Italy, in 1890. Although he fraternized with many of the most important Italian artists and poets of his day, he spent most of his time in his own studio, painting the same objects again and again. He continued to live and work in Bologna until his death in 1964.
