Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964) was born in Bologna, Italy, where he lived until his death. By 1920, Morandi had established the small-scale depictions of still lifes and landscapes that he would pursue throughout his oeuvre, and that were associated with no other school or style but his own. Monographic exhibitions have been held at Tate Modern, London, which traveled to the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (2001–2002); The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which traveled to the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Italy (both 2008); Museo d’Arte Città di Lugano, Switzerland (2012); BOZAR – Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels (2013); Guggenheim Bilbao, Spain (2019); and Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea, Turin (2020).
