The artwork, titled “Still Life,” was created by Giorgio Morandi in 1962. It is a part of the Magic Realism art movement and belongs to the still life genre. The piece displays Morandi’s characteristic simplicity and compositional harmony.
In this “Still Life,” Morandi depicts a group of everyday objects on a flat surface. The arrangement consists of various vases, pitchers, and jars, all painted with a subdued color palette of blues, grays, and muted yellows. The forms are outlined with gentle, soft edges, and the background is rendered in a pale, consistent tone, emphasizing the stillness and serenity of the objects. The interplay of light and shadow is subtle, reflecting the artist’s meticulous attention to tonal variation and spatial relationships. The overall composition embodies a sense of tranquility and timelessness, characteristic of Morandi’s work.
