Full Description

Reading Morandi is comprised of photographs taken by Mary Ellen Bartley during her artist residency at Casa Morandi, Giorgio Morandi’s home and studio in Bologna, and at his summer home in nearby Grizzana.

The book is published in conjunction with the exhibition Mary Ellen Bartley: Morandi’s Books at Museo Morandi. The folded images, outtakes and incidental photographs taken during her stay, draw attention to the peripheral, as what was in the center moves to the edge of the page. These pages, bound together, offer a quiet dialogue between the traces left by Morandi in the books he studied, the objects he painted, and the atmosphere of his most intimate spaces.
