Morandi: Paintings, Watercolors, Drawings, Etchings

Morandi stood aloof from the intellectual turmoil and aesthetic experiments of the 20th century. While other artists moved to Paris, Morandi rarely left his native Bologna. For his needs, a limited number of simple, everyday objects were sufficient. His initial fascination for Impressionism, Cezanne's still lifes and landscapes, and Cubism, melted into a poetic world of his own.
