Giorgio Morandi, Silenzi

These works cover a period of time that goes from 1921 to 1963, and have
been chosen to communicate to the spectator the same meditative silence
that Morandi used to reserve for the making of his paintings.
With this exhibition the spectator is put directly in front of the
different opportunities Morandi’s silence gives to its interpretation,
so that those objects normally chosen by the painter can be used as a
means of expression for a kind of experience that is constantly
different, as different are then the “Silences” that give the exhibition
its title.

As Castor Seibel points out, “Morandi succeeds in giving shape to the
silence, the absence of sound, though a visual phenomenon: the light of
silence”. The exhibition is curated by Daniela Ferretti, in
collaboration with Franco Calarota. Skira catalogue.
