For its third exhibition season devoted to Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964), the Center for Italian Modern Art (CIMA) unites nearly 40 rare paintings, drawings, and etchings from the 1930s — the pinnacle of artistic maturity for the legendary Italian still-life artist. It's also the first time in decades these major works are on view in the United States.
Gathered from private and public collections around Europe, the show's highlights include an extraordinary self-portrait that has not been presented in the U.S. in nearly half a century, a series of more than 20 of the still-life bottle paintings Morandi was best known for, and a bottle-shaped sculpture Morandi fabricated specifically to depict in his paintings.
