Editorial Reviews

Review
"...[provides] in-depth knowledge of the artist’s working technique.... This is a fascinating portrait of a complex artist." -- Library Journal

Review
"The virtue of Janet Abramowicz''s recent book on [Morandi] . . . is that it situates Morandi more fully in his time and his place without in any way detracting from the genuinely, touchingly modest aspects of his life."-Jed Perl, New Republic (Jed Perl New Republic )

"This is a fascinating portrait of a complex artist. Recommended for academic and larger public library art collections."-Library Journal (Library Journal )

4.0 out of 5 stars Not silent anymore, January 9, 2007
By Alan Cayton "alancayton.com" (Dobbs Ferry, New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found the book to be very revealing about the misconceptions of the artist Morandi. It gives the political and cultural backgrounds of the artist's life in Italy. It traces the hopes of fascism and its ultimate disappointments.
While revealing much about the life and times of the artist it leaves the mystery and beauty of his work intact. Knowing about the forces against him made me more appreciative of his unigue gift.
I would have liked to see more reproductions of the paintings mentioned in the text. I get annoyed reading about a painting I can't see for my self.
Over all I found it a rewarding reading experience.
