More than twenty years after its last edition, Museo Morandi in Bologna presents the new Catalogue raisonné of its collection, deeply renovated in content and layout. The book interweaves already well-known critical essays with previously unpublished contributions enriched by new illustrations. The publication is rounded out by an updated bibliography and an exhaustive critical anthology. The result is a work clearly and profoundly conveying the complexity of the creative universe of Giorgio Morandi, internationally recognised as one of the most seminal artists in the twentieth century. Rather than a mere study tool, this catalogue is a tribute to an artist who turned painting into a form of life, capable of questioning time, art and existence itself, and still today opening up new perspectives for reflection and research.
