Georgio Morandi: Lines of Poetry. by Robert Jackson.
"There is a new exhibition on Georgio Morandi at the Estorick Collection, London, called Lines of Poetry. I’ve heard that they’ve brought together quite a few drawings and watercolours not previously seen in the UK – and more excitingly it collects all of the most important graphic work he did, including drawings there weren’t characteristically still-life. I was never really interested in Morandi’s work, until I saw a conference lecture given by one of my tutors – John Chilver – on Morandi and Heidegger’s ‘The Thing”. I was about 22 I think, and I certainly wasn’t in the capacity to absorb anything about Heidegger at that point (it was published somewhere I believe), but I remember the oddness and intensity of the works. Now of course, I see clear and obvious links between Morandi’s strange, haunting grasp of still-life objects forever ungraspable and Heidegger’s own musings about the withdrawn, self-supporting jug." http://robertjackson.info/index/2013/01/georgio-morandi-lines-of-poetry/ Robert Jackson is also a writer/reviewer on Furtherfield.
