Quote of Greer Pagano, in CAA Reviews, 15 April 2009]
“
Several dynamic still lifes full of fragmented planes evidence Morandi's awareness of Cubist developments and reflect his affiliation (however brief) with the Futurists. The soft color palette, so reminiscent of Quattrocento frescoes, and the volumetric rendering of form of other early paintings remind us of Morandi's trips to Florentine churches to study Giotto, Masaccio, and Paolo Uccello.
