In Meyerowitz's book, all the intensity of the encounter between his photography and Morandi's painting

Nel libro di Meyerowitz tutta l’intensità dell’incontro tra la sua fotografia e la pittura di Morandi

A new edition of the book 'Morandi’s Objects' by photographer Joel Meyerowitz has been published by Damiani. The volume explores the artistic dialogue between Meyerowitz's photography and the paintings of Giorgio Morandi, featuring a series of still-life photographs inspired by Morandi's studio and objects, along with a new essay by Maggie Barrett.

This publication highlights a significant cross-disciplinary conversation between two major 20th-century artists, bridging photography and painting. It underscores the enduring influence of Morandi's quiet, contemplative practice on a contemporary master of street photography, marking a pivotal shift in Meyerowitz's work and offering fresh insight into both artists' engagement with form, light, and everyday objects.
