Twentieth-century master of still life and landscape, the Italian artist Giorgio Morandi sought to elicit an appreciation of the familiar, or, as he put it, “to touch the depth, the essence of things.” This first complete United States survey of Morandi’s work includes early pictorial experiments, metaphysical paintings created after World War I, still lifes and landscapes from his mature work and “dissolved” works (paintings that reduce objects to barely recognizable constructions of shape and color) from his later years. On view are approximately 110 paintings, watercolors, drawings and etchings drawn mainly from Italian collections.
