morandi's neutral colors
Giorgio Morandi
“Natura Morte”
1960
Oil on Canvas
As an aficionado of Giorgio Morandi, I took the opportunity (many years ago) while traveling through Italy to visit the Museo Morandi in Bologna which has “sixty-two oil paintings, eighteen watercolours, ninety-two drawings, seventy-eight etchings, two sculptures and two engraved plates”
Giorgio Morandi
“Natura Morte”
1954
Oil on Canvas
I am captivated by Morandi's still-lifes. His use of minimal values – close value tones, and his play of space: ambiguous placement of objects. here all the jars interconnect with the tabletop's back edge transforming the ordinary into a transcendent reality.

Quote from above article:
“His etchings amaze, triggering subliminal sensations of color with nothing
but variations with crosshatched black lines.”
