    Giorgio Morandi

    Zachęta – National Gallery of Art in Warsaw presents a focused selection of works by Giorgio Morandi (1890–1964), a Bolognese artist whose approach continues to resonate with contemporary audiences. The exhibition spans the entire artistic trajectory, from his experiments in the 1920s to his full expressive maturity, marked by a progressive rarefaction of line and palette. His still lifes, silent landscapes and delicate floral compositions reflect a sustained inquiry into perception and the representation of space.
