Tate Modern | Giorgio Morandi Exhibition
http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/morandi.htm Several years ago, I visited an exhibition of paintings by Giorgio Morandi (Italy, 1890-1964) in Bologna, his hometown. Anonymous glasses, plates, vases…I thought I’d get bored fast! – I wasn’t. The artist used soft brown, yellow, blue, grey, and … Continue reading
