This Still Life is composed by four elements that are inscribed in a round. The enlightenment isn’t concentrate, but it’s diffused. Title: "Large Circular Still Life with Bottle and three Objects". Published in the general catalogue "The graphic work of Giorgio Morandi" by L. Vitali, No. 113 First state, 65 units numbered and some print samples (52/65). Signed and dated by the Artist in the bottom left. “…For Morandi, an etching was not just a picture on a metal plate, half way between a hastily jotted note and a brilliant aside, and with all the appearance of having been improvised. For him, etchings were things that could not have been produced any other way, things that you thought about deeply, sought after and pondered. Adventure didn’t come into it, nor did hoping for the best, with the help of chance and the unpredictable effects of acid […] Morandi’s engravings stem from a profound meditation on his subjects, maturing in his mind long before he started etching.” (Lamberto Vitali, L’opera grafica di Giorgio Morandi (Giorgio Morandi’s graphic works, Einaudi, Turin 1957).

Born in Bologna in 1890, Giorgio Morandi is one of the most representative figures of 20th Century Itaian art. Morandi’s vocation for engraving was not something that surfaced when he reached artistic maturity. It progressed in parallel with his painting. The engraver grew alongside the painter, as shown by the fact that his first plates, now lost together with many of his paintings from that period, go back to the year 1911, when Morandi was just 21 years old. In this etching by Morandi, dated 1946 and showing a Circular Still Life with Bottle and Three Objects, diffused light bathes the entire composition instead of focusing on single elements.
The artist succeeds in freeing the objects chosen as the subjects of his works from their everyday reality and manages to ignore the traditional rules of perspective and lighting in depicting them. Every object becomes a plastic entity in a whole wherein the various components of the scene are used as instruments in a rational and organic construction.

This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price.

Giorgio Morandi, Grande Natura Morta Circolare con Bottiglia e Tre Oggetti
Italy  • 1890  - 1964

Presentation

Born in Bologna in 1890, Giorgio Morandi is one of the most representative figures of 20th Century Italian art. Morandi's vocation for engraving was not something that surfaced when he reached artistic maturity. It progressed in parallel with his painting.  

The engraver grew alongside the painter, as shown by the fact that his first plates, now lost together with many of his paintings from that period, go back to the year 1911, when Morandi was just 21 years old.  “…For Morandi, an etching was not just a picture on a metal plate, half way between a hastily jotted note and a brilliant aside, and with all the appearance of having been improvised. 

For him, etchings were things that could not have been produced any other way, things that you thought about deeply, sought after and pondered. Adventure didn't come into it, nor did hoping for the best, with the help of chance and the unpredictable effects of acid […] Morandi's engravings stem from a profound meditation on his subjects, maturing in his mind long before he started etching." (Lamberto Vitali,L'opera graficadi Giorgio Morandi (Giorgio Morandi's graphic works, Einaudi, Turin 1957).
