 not even worth buying December 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
i'm a painter and have been a huge fan of morandis all 30 years of my adult life. like the two star reviewer above i own all the books available including this lame addition to the small pack. one of the worst art catalogues ive ever seen. and i own a ton of them! chock full of dull academic writing and lousy reproductions. karen wilkins book is infinitely superior. don't even buy it unless youre a completist like me. really

I like his paintings. Usually the printed colors are a little bit far from original. This book as others I bought through amazon.com keeps the original colors perfectly. Organized very well.
Best Ever Morandi Book November 29, 2008

This is undoubtedly the best review of Morandi and his work written in English. Spectacular reproductions of the most important museum show ever assembled on this artist. Outstanding commentary by the leading Morandi experts.
Serenity in the painted bottle... November 16, 2008

I happen to have loved this artist's work for a long time and have collected many books about him. Thia is an excellent treatise which makes me even more excited to visit the Phillips Collection in the Spring (2009) to see more of his work.

Having just seen Morandi's show at the Met and purchasing this book (and having seen quite a few other Morandi publications), I can say confidently that this is an excellent book in all respects. I'm not sure what Mitchell Johnson expects from an art book. All of the plates are large, focused, and as close to Morandi's color as can be achieved without gluing the paintings themselves onto the pages of the book. There are also some excellent close ups of several paintings which are fascinating. This is a top rate publication with excellent reproductions.
