About the Item

L.A.S. addressed to Countess Pecci Blunt. Bologna, March 12, 1939. 1 p. 18x27cm. Perfect conditions. Adamant from Via Fondazza in Bologna, morbidly attached to his mother and the three sisters and alien to any party circuit, in his home-studio Morandi does not look for boldness, experimentation or new themes. He is in silent contemplation, and with his methodical look captures every nuance and shaking of the light of his still life. It is a sober but not modest painting whose subjects, bottles, baskets, oils and flowers reach very high levels of poetic and austere, no frills, with the same ochre ranges. Always the same, but always different. In the year when he won the second painting prize at the Quadriennale of Rome, he wants to dedicate a "pleasing watercolor" to a Countess Pecci Blunt family album: as, even when he appears to be out of his nest, he is always necessarily there.
