Colors of Milan Landscape and Morandi Painting

Last week I was travelling back to our hotel in Milan, pretty tired after a day of gallery visits. The late afternoon light of the November was pouring to the inside of the train. The Milan landscape flowing behind our windows had a certain glow from the late sun. These colors attracted my attention first, just sky blue sky and a certain shade of green grass. But the very next moment we passed a group of houses and they were just exactly as the houses from a Morandi painting. I have been completely surprised to realise the color palette Morandi had used for his canvases came from the true colors of his home landscape……….as true art really can evolve only from the true colors of the life…
