These lines in particular were a wonderful reminder of Morandi's legacy to the creative community: "Morandi was a man who knew what he wanted to do and understood what life was about for himself.

Yes, the work is good, but so lonely and closed. Is this what a successful life as an artist is about. Where is the love, the joy, the diversity, the openness?
