Joel Meyerowitz: Morandi's Objects

"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."
