Devotional and tranquil, the art of Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) celebrates the virtues of patience, serenity, and modesty. Many of Morandi's still lifes, landscapes, and flowers are based on earlier compositions that he continually revisited, often across media (painting, watercolor, and etching). The artist had a repertoire of favorite themes that were reprised across the course of his career. His work is housed in some of Europe's most prestigious institutions, museums and private collections. The artist's heroic questing for purity have won him many fans -- in film, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Robert Aldrich, and Luca Guadagnino -- in literature, Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, and Siri Hustvedt -- and in contemporary art, Lawrence Carroll, Tacita Dean, and Luc Tuymans.
