colors are quiet and give people a peaceful feeling. They appear in everything from fashion design to daily crafts.
Besides these special colors, Morandi is well-known for drawing small, still objects and scenery from daily life. He would often paint the same group of objects again and again. They include bottles, cups, vases(花瓶), flowers, and things outside his window. He once said that the feelings and pictures around us were very difficult to express, because they were decided by form, color, space and light. So he drew things in different situations to show their colors and shapes.
Morandi had many books about traditional Chinese art. Did he learn from it? We don’t know. But some people compare the stillness of Morandi’s works with the peaceful feeling of the Song Dynasty’s paintings. They show the same feeling in some way.
Morandi and his art works help us to relearn how to look at things we didn’t see, and how to look at the objects we thought to be meaningless before. Morandi influenced a lot of artists and led to the birth of minimalism(极简主义), a kind of modern art which shows the simplification(简化) of form and color.
