Morandi beyond Morandi

On the banks of the Huangpu River, in the long -term art museum on the 6th floor of the Roosevelt Building, the personal exhibition of the famous Italian painter Morandi is ongoing.

After one afternoon of working days, thinking that maybe there will be less audiences, they can be more "exclusive" to these poetic creations, but they still meet several visits by children and big friends in the exhibition hall. Of course, I also like this scene. The richness of cultural and artistic activities brings spiritual nourishment to the city, giving each age a chance to enjoy the classics and beauty. Is this not another scenery in the museum?

The entrance of the exhibition hall is a huge portrait of Morandi. In the photo, he put his glasses on his forehead and his eyes were forgotten. I have seen another photo taken by German photographer Herbert for him. He also carried his glasses in one hand and looked at the bottle and can in front of him. I think that such actions should be the norm. In the decades of Morandi's creation, he must always think about it in this way. From the limited container in front of him, find unlimited combinations and expression.

In recent years, Morandi has become popular, and even many people "know people from color." Under the publicity and color matching of marketing experts, Morandic's warmth and elegance have become synonymous with high -level, but they are very popular, but this is always "Morandi in other people." As long as you enter the exhibition hall and look at his paintings, you can feel a huge turning point.

Morandi's color always has a little gray tone. The bottles and cans in his paintings often stroke thin dust, the flow of color expression time, and the world of solid state and constant response to the changing world. It is a real Morandi.

People often compare Morandi with Jokmeti in the same period. At that time, what they faced at the time was the fascist regime under Mussolini, whether it was the art world or the entire society was in a violent turbulence. Jokmeti made a deafening shouting, while Morandi responded with focus and purely. Some people say that Morandi isolates itself from the outside world. I don't think so. In the face of the magnificent and magnificent works of artistic works respected by the Mussolini regime, Morandi has never been attached, and his brush stays in peace. The villages who stayed in front of the table were not stained with "shocking spectacular", which is also his persistence and attitude.

I couldn't help thinking of the hermit. I thought of the Chinese literati painter who had repeatedly sent a lot in the mountains and rivers in ancient times. I think that in different time and space, Morandi resonated with those landscape masters. As the French poet Philip describes Moni, "Morandi deeply aware of the sorrow of human beings, and it is also deeply aware of the possible annihilation of all things. It can be imagined that his paintings are amazing calm. - Without this, he will not be carrying so far. "

Gentle, stubborn, and full of power, this is what Morandi's work feels. When I heard that when he was creating, he always painted bright colors on the background, and then continuously covered and fused, making it present the characteristics of nowadays in front of him. Will this also represent all the rebellions in his heart. Back out of the constraints of all kinds of trend, walking with pilgrimage devotion, carefully and patiently depicting triviality and daily life, Morandi hid the meaning of deep long.

I wandered in the last chapter of the exhibition for a long time. This was Bologonia from 1950 to 1960, and the vases, utensils and courtyards that were at the time of Morandi's eyes. In fact, Morandi completed 60%of his life's creation at this stage. Compared with before, his painting language is more refined and streamlined, and the combination of light and color is becoming more clever. The sense of surprise, but even if the distance is unlimited with the color, Morandi's extreme peaceful soul is unchanged. In the silence, the breath of color was quietly flowing, and the light of comforting people seemed to be "patience", as if it was "holding", and there seemed to be a lot of "expectations".
