Morandi 1890-1964

The exhibition “Morandi 1890-1964,” conceived and curated by Maria Cristina Bandera, is promoted by Comune di Milano, produced by Palazzo Reale, Civita Mostre e Musei and 24 ORE Cultura – Gruppo 24 ORE, in collaboration with Settore Musei Civici Bologna | Museo Morandi.

More than 30 years after the last exhibition, Milan dedicates a major exhibition to Giorgio Morandi to celebrate the elective relationship between the city and the Bolognese painter.

An exhibition corpus of about 120 works traces the entire oeuvre of the Bolognese artist-fifty years of activity, from 1913 to 1963-through exceptional loans from important public institutions and prestigious private collections.

The exhibition follows a chronological criterion with purposeful and novel juxtapositions documenting the painter’s stylistic evolution and modus operandi in the variation of his chosen themes – still life, landscape, flowers and only rarely figures – and techniques – painting, etching and watercolor.
