The book Reading Morandi by Mary Ellen Bartley gathers photographs taken during her artist residency at Casa Morandi in Bologna. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Mary Ellen Bartley: Morandi’s Books at the Museo Morandi, it presents unconventional shots and in-situ images that shift the focus from central elements to peripheral details. The works create a silent dialogue between the traces left by Morandi in the books he studied, the objects he painted, and the atmosphere of his most intimate spaces. The photographs invite the reader to explore the relationship between reading, observation, and artistic creation, offering a unique perspective on the master's universe.

The cover, wrapped in semi-transparent paper, plays with the layering of elements, evoking a chromatic and spatial suggestion similar to the artist’s paintings.
