Catalogue Note
Nel 1952 Giorgio Morandi partecipa con una natura morta di soggetto floreale all’importante mostra La nature morte de l’antiquité à nos jours curata da Charles Sterling che si tiene all’Orangerie a Parigi, ma era già dal 1950 che si interessa vivamente alle possibilità offerte da un gruppo di corolle strette come in un abbraccio, in cima alla forma ora nettamente sagomata, ora morbida e avvolgente del vaso. Sono innumerevoli gli esempi di soggetto analogo in ogni periodo storico e corrente artistica, ma Morandi rompe gli schemi precendenti e le convenzioni pre-esistenti rivendicando una forma di astrazione che non dipende dall'accostamento di geometrie e colori, ma conduce la realtà su un piano rappresentativo di pura forma e puro volume.
