Hi All,
I am curently writing an article on Giorgio Morandi and his still life painitng of ceramic
objects. I'd be interetsed to hear if anyone knows of potters that have been inspired by
his work (other than the obvious Gwynn Hannsen-Piggot).
If anyone can give me any pointes, it would be much appreciated. Please reply (or CC)
directly to sgoldate@bigpond.net.au.
thanks,
Steven

I can't name specific names or work but it sometimes
seems like half the ceramics grad students in the
world site Morandi among their influences. How often
this shows up in their actual work is another
question.

Georgio Morandi is an Italian.oops, was an italian painter whose work
was very spare, concentrated on still lifes, many with bottles..very
quiet distilled cool paintings..explorations of composition and
form..very much an artist's painter, and never achieved great reknown,
altho his reputation increases yearly. Go to Google and use the image
format and check out his stuff.

I'm inspired by Morandi. I find work like his and Milton Avery's
more satisfying than straight abstraction. I intend to study woodblock
printing next, using pottery and related themes as inspiration. Along with
Morandi and Avery, I am also inspired by Serizawa, a friend of Hamada and
Yanagi's. There is a large volume of his sketch notebooks at the local
library.
I always thought Morandi painted ceramic objects too. But actually,
his still life objects were painted glass bottles. I saw an art program here
in Japan on Morandi (lotsa art documentaries here in Japan.) There were both
photographs of his studio and video of his preserved studio, showing the painted
glass bottles he used.
Hope this helps.
