With *Il tempo sospeso, Part II*, Galleria Mattia De Luca sought to continue the exhibition journey begun with the show "Giorgio Morandi: Il tempo sospeso" (Rome, 2022), enriching it with a significant second chapterone that is distinctly American. Set within a historic New York residencea nineteenth-century townhouse on the Upper East Side, adjacent to Central Parkgallerist Mattia De Luca and Marilena Pasquali chose to present the work of the great Bolognese master. In doing so, they simultaneously evoked the domestic intimacy of his working environment and the fruitful ties he forged with the United Statesconnections the artist cultivated during his lifetime, beginning in the 1930s, and which have remained unbroken ever since. New York was, in fact, the first U.S. city to dedicate a solo exhibition to him, held at the Delius Gallery in 1955. The result of a renewed collaboration with the Centro Studi Giorgio Morandi in Bologna, this project aimed to trace the artist's creative trajectory through a selection of more than sixty worksincluding etchings, watercolors, drawings, and oil paintingscreated between 1914 and 1964. Serving as exquisite variations on the themes of still life and landscape"orchestrated" by the painter from Grizzana through a masterful command of color and volumethese works offered a significant opportunity for critical comparison and historical reflection.
