Year: 2000
Publisher: Skira
Authors: Gianfranco Bruno, Pier Giovanni Castagnoli and Donatella Biasin
Subject: Two hardcover volumes with dust jacket, in a slipcase; 200 color illustrations, 2000 b/w. Realized in collaboration with the Morlotti Archive, the volume collects the complete painterly work of Ennio Morlotti (1910-1992). Of Lombard origin, from the mid-1940s Morlotti adopts a precise, isolated artistic orientation characterized by a naturalism in which reality and form dissolve into color, in a strongly material painting, which has produced some of the most authentic and intense works of contemporary painting: from landscapes of the Adda and Bordighera to the figure paintings of the Bathers and the Nudes, to still lifes and up to the famous series of Rocks, a central theme of his production from 1975 to the late years.
