Here at the Brera district the
Metafisica/Metafisiche project by the City is presumed to feature an homage by Kentridge (Johannesburg, 1955) to Giorgio
Morandi, a Bolognese master painter of still lives from the 20th century.
.:. Morandi had a deep metaphysical sensibility, that certainly Kentridge can grasp and reproduce. As a matter of fact, however, the reproduction here is limited to a quite physical
still life (pictured), while the core of the exhibition is provided by "More Sweetly Play the Dance", a splendid multi-screen
video, with music, totally independent from Morandi.
.:. The moral? Kentridge does not need Morandi more than Morandi needs Kentridge.
