The objects in Giorgio Morandi's paintings have always been the point — the vases, tins, and bottles he arranged and rearranged on a marked tabletop in Bologna across four decades of work. In the spring of 2015, Joel Meyerowitz entered that studio at 36 Via Fondazza and photographed each one: handled individually, placed on Morandi's own marked surface, in the same light. This expanded and revised edition adds more than 130 photographs to the 2016 original, along with a new essay by Amanda Renshaw and an updated bibliography. An essential volume for anyone who has ever looked closely at a still life and wondered what the painter actually saw.

Giorgio Morandi, Bologna, 1890–1964. Four decades of still lifes — the same vessels, endlessly rearranged — that made him one of the most studied painters of the twentieth century. Joel Meyerowitz, born 1938 in New York, is one of the foundational figures of New Color Photography.
