專家說明

One of the last to join the group of Italian metaphysical painters, Morandi blended his highly personal purity of form with a delicate sense of color creating a mysterious poetry. His very ordered juxtaposition of modest shapes create subtle relationships that take on a rarified atmosphere.

The bottles and other objects are transmuted into symphonies of exquisite color, bathed in a light so tenuous that it seems to glance over rather than strike their surfaces, and vibrant with that subtle rhythm which gives Morandi's art its amazing power of suggestion. The contour-lines-that is to say the form-the color and the composition have supreme rightness. (L. Venturi, Italian Painting from Caravaggio to Modigliani, Geneva, 1951, p. 103)
