Three masters of modern painting, three approaches to the object. Drawing on a rigorous and tightly focused selection of still lifes by Picasso, Morandi, and Parmiggiani, the exhibition proposes a dialogue around the question of representation – between grasping and veiling reality – through the staging of objects within the laboratory of the studio. From Picasso’s bricolages, assemblages, and deconstructions, which forge a new pictorial language while reasserting the fi gure of the memento mori; to Morandi’s striking serial compositions of white-painted bottles arranged on studio shelves and elevated into timeless, metaphysical motifs; and finally to Parmiggiani’s works, smoke shadows of objects that pose profound questions of disappearance and absence, reformulating contemporary Vanitas.
