From the 4th September 2010 to the 9th January 2011 a selection of twenty one works by Giorgio Morandi (Bologna,1890 -1964) will be exhibited at the Fortuny Museum. The paintings are all still lives partly coming from private collections, and for this reason inedited.

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.
