The objects in Giorgio Morandi's paintings have always been the point — the vases, tins, and bottles he arranged and rearranged on a marked tabletop in Bologna across four decades of work. In the spring of 2015, Joel Meyerowitz entered that studio at 36 Via Fondazza and photographed each one: handled individually, placed on Morandi's own marked surface, in the same light. This expanded and revised edition adds more than 130 photographs to the 2016 original, along with a new essay by Amanda Renshaw and an updated bibliography. An essential volume for anyone who has ever looked closely at a still life and wondered what the painter actually saw. Giorgio Morandi, Bologna, 1890–1964. Four decades of still lifes — the same vessels, endlessly rearranged — that made him one of the most studied painters of the twentieth century. Joel Meyerowitz, born 1938 in New York, is one of the foundational figures of New Color Photography. Show more
