Giorgio Morandi
Here is a link to the show at the Met

We spoke about his quiet, repetitive, meditative paintings today in class.  Look at the small variations of line weight, color, paint application and arrangement of mass in the different paintings.  Tiny variations in placement and value, hue or texture, convey quite different messages.  The paintings are really beautiful.
Don't you imagine that there was not an atom of drama queen in his personality?  Or instead, do you see intense oceans of repressed feelings?
