Morandi stood aloof from the intellectual turmoil and aesthetic experiments of the 20th century. While other artists moved to Paris, Morandi rarely left his native Bologna.

His initial fascination for Impressionism, Cezanne's still lifes and landscapes, and Cubism, melted into a poetic world of his own.
