It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the \"Still Life\" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nLooking at Giorgio Morandi's still lifes is essential to understanding the meaning of his research. Morandi seeks to capture the true essence of things (the noumenon) on canvas, but he does so without departing from the sensory reality (the phenomenon). For this reason, he engages in a profound process of reflection on objects, aiming to capture their most vivid image. In this process, the painter is aided by the light that bathes the composition, leading the artist to implement a process of reducing objects until their true essence remains. What remains is an almost diaphanous yet extremely alive and dynamic image, shaken by genuine existential (as well as luminous) vibrations. Another fundamental element in Morandi's still lifes is the formal perfection and balance of the composition, which hark back to the great tradition of Italian painting. In this painting attributed to the Bolognese painter, these two elements—dissolution in light and formal balance—coexist in a representation that still relies on a firm connection to phenomenal reality. In short, we have not achieved the accentuated synthesis that characterizes many of his works. Thus, the sense of the objects' form prevails, displayed in a non-unique space, specifically constructed to enhance the sense of plasticity. However, the pictorial layering is consistently charged with those vibrations typical of Morandi's language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe work has been attributed to Giorgio Morandi, one of the leading exponents of 20th-century Italian painting. Born in Bologna in 1890 and died in 1964, he lived for many years in his home on Via Fondazza, before moving to his summer residence in Grizzana in 1960. He trained at the Academy of his city and, even as a young man, had been reflecting on Cézanne, Derain, and Picasso. But Morandi also looked to the past, to Giotto and Masaccio. Initially, he was drawn to the Futurists, then participated in the Experiment of Plastic Values. He later embarked on his own unique path, seeking the essence and reality of things. His breakthrough came in 1939 with a solo exhibition at the Rome Quadriennale.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Favia Antonio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56215843701122,"sku":"AFAV001","price":15000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/20180704_103057-2-copia-scaled.jpg?v=1768429817","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/attribuito-a-giorgio-morandi-natura-morta","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
