Morandi

I've been learning more about Giorgio Morandi of late, he was a fairly well known Italian painter in the 20th century. Morandi is not all that well known these days outside of Europe, I never knew about him until a few years ago (this is the case for many artists though) but I've been interested in his work. Most of Morandi's paintings and etchings are landscapes and still lifes (still lives?). Morandi worked in a small messy studio where he painted smaller objects like bottles and vases over and over again.
I like the idea of focusing on some simple objects, we live in such a complicated world and often complicate it further. There can be real beauty in simplicity and often in the things all around us that get overlooked.
