MORANDI'S LEGACY: INFLUENCES ON BRITISH ART

the long version

"This book explores the enduring currency of Morandi's ideas through the work of a number of contemporary British artists. By juxtaposing his drawings, etchings and paintings with signature works by artists such as David Hockney, Tony Cragg, Patrick Caulfield, Euan Uglow and Ben Nicholson, the nature of this exchange is scrutinised. Each of these artists is represented by work that connects with Morandi and is illustrated alongside pertinent examples by him. A narrative text by Paul Coldwell and contributions in the form of interviews with some of the featured artists document these interpretations."--Jacket.
