■ "Morandi's Objects" by Joel Meyerowitz

Joel Meyerowitz visited the studio of Giorgio Morandi, an Italian painter known for his paintings of antique bottles and jugs lined up on tables, and photographed these still lifes, including tables, bottles, and ceramics, that the late Morandi had painted, using soft natural light.

Even the background paper is one left behind by Morandi, bringing to life the worldview that the "lonely artist" breathed into his paintings.
