About forty paintings and works on paper, will be shown in Rome, retracing Morandi’s artistic career and helping expand our understanding of his “difficult and secret” art, to paraphrase Cesare Brandi. The intense
juxtaposition of some of Morandi’s “variants” points to some new critical insights, as does the display of some unpublished documents that have recently emerged from the family archives.
Giorgio Morandi. Il tempo sospeso shows how, as a man and as an artist, Morandi was firmly anchored to the twentieth century: a man who lived through two world wars and experienced the full impact of disillusionment, the loss of certainties, and the collapse of all beliefs. To stem the loss of human direction he sought a mental order, a harmony of form, a material that could become light. And yet he never lost the thrill of uncertainty, as we see in his every work in the form of expectancy and suspension.
