  Giorgio Morandi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giorgio Morandi was born in Bologna in 1890.
From 1930 to 1956, Morandi was a professor of etching at Accademia di Belle Arti.

Giorgio Morandi was born in Bologna on 20 July 1890.

 Ceramics Today - Giorgio Morandi
Giorgio Morandi was a 20th C Italian artist, who mainly painted still lifes and landscapes.
Morandi's ceramic objects cannot be attributed to any particular makers, but amongst them we find a fluted bowl reminiscent of David Leach's work, a blue and white striped vase that could have been made by 20th C German potter Hedwig Bollhagen, or italo-french peasant style water jugs.
There is little doubt though, that with these studies, Morandi was trying to glean the essence of painting, by repeating the same scenes over and over again, with little variation, to transcend the objects' and the medium's mediocrity, elevating both, and thus perhaps the also the painter, to a higher plane.

His ideal inspiration was Paul Cézanne and was also the starting point for the formation of a new formal culture, participant of the most advanced contemporary artistic researches with the coherent consequence of the passage in 1914-15 to the formal starting point of cubism.
Morandi’s adhesion to metaphysical painting (1918-20) did not in any way detract from the purism and essentiality of his vision.
At the beginning of 1920 the artist pursued the deepening and maturation of his personal style, first with dense colours and brief strokes, then with a delicate chromatic pattern, as can be seen in the still life works that he painted toward the end of the ‘twenties.

 The eloquent whispers of Giorgio Morandi by Karen Wilkin
The expressiveness Morandi could wrest from nuance, the variety he could extract from small changes, are most apparent when you can compare groups of pictures, just as the true complexity of Morandi’s palette is most readily perceived when several paintings can be seen together.
Morandi’s roses and ochers, his dull browns and brick reds can be seen on any street in Bologna, just as the dusty greens of his landscapes can be found on any Emilian hillside.
Morandi, Eco maintained, “can be truly understood only after you have traversed the streets and the arcades of this city and have understood that an apparently uniform reddish color can differentiate house from house and street from street.

The two curators then began to realize that Morandi was not simply a painter of bottles and occasional landscapes but a man intent on exploring subtle equations of forms, placing and atmospheric effects.
It was as though he, like Chardin, had found the external world hopelessly convoluted and had preferred to stare endlessly at simple objects on a studio table, separating their volumes and color and then interlocking them again through an alchemy he alone understood.

Giorgio Morandi was born and educated in Bologna, Italy.
Morandi painted still lifes and landscapes, themes he established by 1920.
The surrealist Giorgio De Chirico referred to Morandi as a metaphysical painter of the common object, for, in kitchen still lifes that arranged and rearranged familiar domestic objects such as jugs, vases, bowls and bottles in diverse groupings, Morandi celebrated the details of the ordinary and the humble.

In some, Morandi gangs those objects together so that they touch, hiding and cropping one another in ways that alter even the most recognizable features; in others, the same objects are treated as distinct individuals, gathered on the surface of the tabletop like an urban crowd in a piazza.
Confronted by such subject matter, it is easy to understand why Morandi has been compared so often with Chardin, whose still lifes also celebrated the ordinary and the humble, the trappings of the kitchen and the pantry, presenting them without sentimentality, but with scrupulous attention to their individual formal characteristics.

His palette of dusty hues is more subdued than that of the cubists, he regards his subjects from directly in front of them, and, except in the paintings from the year he was influenced by Di Chirico, he eschews dramatic effects.
Those who know painting, however, see Morandi as the greatest disciple of Ce zanne and a painter whose subject is seeing itself and who, in the acts of seeing and representing, teases out meaning and feeling.
The text traces Morandi's many influences, from Giotto to Cezanne and the Metaphysical painters to the Cubists, and discusses the manner in which his life and work have informed the critical interpretations of his art.
