1942
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1942 ink by Giorgio Morandi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a round frame filled with simple shapes: a few jars, a pitcher, and a small box on a shelf. The lines are soft and the whole scene looks quiet, almost like a shadowy snapshot. The objects sit close together, with some stacked or leaning. The artist used only black lines on a light background, making it feel like a sketch. The date on the paper says 1942, and the signature reads "Morandi." Next, check out etching to see how artists like this make prints with needles and acid.
Giorgio Morandi (July 20, 1890 – June 18, 1964) was an Italian painter and printmaker widely known for his subtly muted still-life paintings of ceramic vessels, flowers, and landscapes.
