5. Giorgio Morandi: The Poetics of Stillness
The survey exhibition at M WOODS, Giorgio Morandi: The Poetics of Stillness, explores six decades of Morandi's practice across over 80 works, from his early life, when he first exhibited in Bologna in 1914, and was heavily influenced by avant-garde art movements like Cubism and Futurism, to the period between 1930 and 1956, when Morandi was professor of etching at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, and his later work in the 1960s just before his death.
As the first museum solo exhibition of Morandi's work in China, the show also considers Morandi's silent investigations of form, meditative repetition of still life and introspective compositions in parallel with concepts of timelessness in both European and traditional Chinese thought and philosophy.
