Morandi cannot be called a symbolist, although each object in his still lifes has a character and meaning.
But here are a couple of my collages about the fictitious correspondence between Giorgio and Wassily Kandinsky, downright overflowing with interconnected signs and symbols. Perhaps even an allegory can be subtracted from there.
Or read it there.
PS from 2012
I will tell you about how I make pictures of the series Correspondence.
In particular, why this letter from Giorgio is addressed specifically to Vasily.
Morandi is the starting point. A point of calm.
His paintings are the limit of restraint and quietness. "Kitchen painting".
In each "letter" there is a chord of Morandi shapes and colors with a counterpoint from its addressee.
In each letter there are "keys" that open connections.
There are three keys in the letter to Vasily: abstraction, music, and color.
