1946, Giorgio Morandi, Still Life -- Tate Modern (London)
From the museum label: Morandi repeatedly painted the same selection of familiar items, including bottles, bowls, pots and boxes. In his paintings, they lose their domestic function to become sculptural objects that invite meditation and contemplation. Morandi never left Italy and for almost his whole career, he painted these objects in a studio that was also his bedroom, in a flat in his native Bologna.
