| | | Joel Meyerowitz: Morandi's ObjectsText by Joel Meyerowitz, Maggie Barrett.
 In Spring 2015, the photographer Joel Meyerowitz sat at the work table in Giorgio Morandi’s Bologna home, in the exact spot where the painter had sat for over 40 years making his quiet, sublime still lifes. Here Meyerowitz looked at, touched, studied and connected with the more than 250 objects that Morandi painted. Using only the warm natural light in the room, he photographed Morandi’s objects: vases, shells, pigment-filled bottles, silk flowers, tins, funnels, watering cans. In the photographs, each object sits on Morandi’s table, which still bears the marks the painter drew to set the positions of his subjects. In the background is the same paper that Morandi left on the wall, now brittle and yellow with age. Meyerowitz’s portraits of these dusty, aged objects are not only works of art themselves, but they offer insight into the humble subjects that Morandi transformed into his subtle and luminous paintings.
Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) is a street photographer and portrait and landscape photographer. The New York native began photographing in color in 1962 and was an early advocate of the use of color at a time when there was significant resistance to the idea of color photography as serious art. Many of his photographs are icons of modern photography, and he is considered one of the most influential modern photographers and representatives of the New Color Photography of the 1960s and ’70s. His work has appeared in over 350 exhibitions around the world and is in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art, New York and many other museums worldwide.
Featured image is reproduced from Joel Meyerowitz: Morandi's Objects.PRAISE AND REVIEWSFinancial Times Yasmin Omar The American photographer pays homage to the still-life painter Giorgio Morandi Design Observer Rick Poyner Like Morandi’s paintings, these pictures disclose the sublime dimension inherent in ordinary things, only they do it by intrinsically photographic means—with repetition, seriality, and optical precision. Another Magazine Maisie Skidmore Meyerowitz allowed Morandi’s discerning eye to sing out softly through the dimming rosy light and the mottled texture of the wallpaper which formed his backdrop.... The resulting photographs, which are compiled in an exquisite new book entitled Morandi’s Objects and published by Damiani, feel distinctly collaborative in their effort; Morandi’s curatorial ideas dictate the composition of Meyerowitz’s photographs, while the shrewd focus of the camera lens picks out details in the surfaces that the original artist’s own eye neglected. Photograph Magazine Vince Aletti This isn't a noisy celebration, it's a quiet homage. The New York Times Fred R. Conrad Joel Meyerowitz Finds Beauty in the Ordinary |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 3/2/2016 "I fell in love with Giorgio Morandi ten years before I fell in love with Joel Meyerowitz," Maggie Barrett writes in Morandi's Objects, Damiani's gorgeous new collection of photographs by her husband of the Italian painter's objects and studio. "Of course, when I was first introduced to Morandi he was already dead, whereas Meyerowitz was, and is, very much alive. But I like to think that there was a similar quality in these two men that attracted me to them; a quality of stillness imbued with the latent energy of time. So that within the frame, be it painting or photograph, what first appears to be simplistic and familiar, upon longer reflection reveals the complexity not only of the object but also of the subject. Whether it is a collection of vases and bottles in a Morandi painting or an everyday street scene in a Meyerowitz photograph, the images convey a mystery deeper than their surface." Featured image is "Tall Green Bottle" (2015). continue to blogFROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 3/1/2016 "Flowers in Vase" is reproduced from Morandi's Objects, Damiani's beautiful, clothbound collection of Joel Meyerowitz's photographs of the objects and interiors of the late Italian painter's Bologna studio. (Also available in a signed and numbered limited edition.) "I sat at Giorgio Morandi’s table in exactly the same place that he sat for more than 40 years," Meyerowitz writes. "On his table the same slant of light glowed for me as had for him. I watched it slowly bloom across his now empty, but tracery filled work surface for two days in the spring of 2015. One by one, more than 260 objects that he had collected came into my hands. Dust covered and ordinary, they presented themselves as part of the mystery that Morandi left behind for us to try and understand." continue to blog | |  | Text by Joel Meyerowitz, Maggie Barrett.DAMIANIISBN: 9788862087308
