Joel Meyerowitz: Morandi's Objects Hardcover – 1 Feb. 2016

Giorgio Morandi's art is timeless. As an admirer of Morandi's work, in particular his 'natura morta', Meyerowitz captures some 'old friends' with his technically outstanding images. The backdrop and plane is consistent, each object being laid at the same position on Morandi's drawn table. Familiar objects in familiar surroundings. Meyerowitz in no way tries to recreate these objects as a photographic Morandi still life, he treats each individual object to scrutiny, to be scrutinised, more like an artistic mugshot....an identity parade. It works, I feel. The volume is superbly produced, however I do feel the brevity of the texts add little to the book. Nonetheless a worthwhile addition to the Morandi bibliography.
