About Giorgio Morandi
Giorgio Morandi (July 20, 1890 – June 18, 1964) was an Italian painter who specialized in arranged still life paintings. His paintings are noted for their tonal subtlety in depicting apparently simple subjects, which were limited mainly to vases, bottles, bowls, flowers and landscapes.

Additional quotes by Giorgio Morandi
As regards my paintings of similar compositions I cannot give you any indication [about possible 'variants' in his works] because I'm afraid I've never made a note of where my paintings have ended up.. .I am always at work and work is my sole passion.
