Giorgio Morandi

(For next homework assignment see post below)

Dear class,

Here are some images of the Morandi drawings (or etchings) we looked at in class. I encourage you to do some further research on your own, because he made so many wonderful graphic pieces over his lifetime. The SVA library should have a number of good books on Morandi.

Note especially his use of layering to create the wide range of tonal values we see in his drawings, and his dynamic, wobbly edges that bring these mundane objects to life.
