How Italian Artist's Mild Colors Dominate World of Design
温柔的“莫兰迪色”，如何引领设计时尚？

The Morandi color scheme has become an across-the-board fashion that now prevails in the world of design.Soft and sophisticated Morandi colors such as coral, salmon, champagne, pearl gray and eucharis are considered as apt choices for design of all kinds.
莫兰迪的配色方案已经成为一种全面的时尚，现在在设计界盛行。柔和而精致的莫兰迪色彩，如珊瑚色、鲑鱼色、香槟色、珍珠灰色和尤查里色，被认为是各种设计的合适选择。
When darkened and unsaturated for a low-key look, they feel calm, fresh and comfortable to the modern taste.Of the whole scheme, sophisticated gray is the most favorite.It is actually a reference to the typical gray hand-picked from Morandi's palette.
当暗沉和不饱和为一种低调的外观，他们感到平静，清新和舒适的现代味道。在整个方案中，精致的灰色是最受欢迎的。它实际上是指从莫兰迪的调色板中精心挑选的典型灰色。
When gripped by the fear of losing order and peace suddenly in the circumstances of uncertainty, people turn to mild colors as a source of solace.
当人们担心在不确定的环境中突然失去秩序和和平时，人们会把温和的颜色作为安慰的来源。
Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) is a great Italian artist of the 20th century.He was devoted to still-life, with landscape as basically a sideline.
乔治·莫兰迪（1890-1964）是20世纪伟大的意大利艺术家。他专注于静物画，风景画基本上是副业。
Morandi was born in Bologna, a glamorous city in northern Italy, but he lived in seclusion like a recluse.He attended the University of Bologna, and went on to teach etching for a while after college years.Unmarried his entire life, he stayed in town with his mother and three sisters in a middle-class apartment.
莫兰迪出生在意大利北部迷人的城市博洛尼亚，但他过着隐士般的隐居生活。他曾就读于博洛尼亚大学，并在大学毕业后继续教授一段时间的蚀刻。他一生未婚，与母亲和三个姐妹住在城里一间中产阶级的公寓里
The tall artist didn't enjoy more space than a single room used legitimately as both a studio and a bedroom.Behind the easel were clustered objects gleaned from junk shops.The bulk of them were kitchenware, including oil bottles, water jars, milk jugs and multipurpose tins.Chocolate boxes, fruit plates and ceramic vases apparently belong to his A-list collection.Similar to his simple life, the theme of simplicity clearly runs through his art.
这位身材高大的艺术家享受不到比一个单独的房间更大的空间，这个房间被合法地用作工作室和卧室。画架后面是一堆从旧货店里捡来的东西。其中大部分是厨房用具，包括油瓶、水罐、牛奶罐和多用途罐头。巧克力盒、水果盘和陶瓷花瓶显然属于他的顶级收藏。与他简朴的生活相似，简单的主题贯穿了他的艺术。
Inspired by Cézanne, who enchanted Paris with mere apples, Morandi wanted to change the humblest into the most graceful.His special eye for the mundane stuff warranted his triumph.And modern art's removal of each and every bit of story, character and detail allowed him to depict the essential things with simplicity.
受到用苹果征服巴黎的csamzanne的启发，莫兰迪想把最卑微的人变成最优雅的人。他对世俗事物的特殊眼光保证了他的胜利。现代艺术对故事、人物和细节的去除，使他能够以简单的方式描绘本质的东西。
Gone were the days when it was necessary to clarify whether the layout belonged to a court or cottage, or whether the vase was a Greek urn or a piece of Wanli porcelain imported from China.With the "background check" spared on the part of the artist, focus was drawn to the form of the objects, or rather the mission of transformation.
过去，人们不需要弄清楚这个花瓶是属于宫廷还是茅屋，或者花瓶是希腊的瓮，还是从中国进口的万历瓷器。由于没有对艺术家进行“背景调查”，重点被吸引到物体的形式上，或者更确切地说，是改造的使命。
Half figurative and half abstract, Morandi thought neutral.Free from the bounds of perspective, his objects are stripped down to their most basic shapes to be maneuvered in the space of minimalism evocative of a place that is vastly timeless.They usually take center stage with great confidence.
半具象半抽象，莫兰迪的思想是中性的。他的作品摆脱了视角的限制，被剥离到最基本的形状，在极简主义的空间中被操纵，唤起了一个永恒的地方。他们通常自信满满地站在舞台中央。
The background and foreground are no longer distinguished except for a brief expression briskly done in monochrome.Overall, all the elements appear to be no more than bare essentials, and they cannot be made more bare.
背景和前景不再区分，除了一个简短的表达在单色轻快地完成。总的来说，所有的元素似乎都不过是基本要素，它们不能再变得更简单了。
"Still-life" (1942) is often acclaimed as Morandi's masterpiece.The gray-hued painting gives a feel of pristine tranquility.The fluted bottle is paired with a flipped-over bowl, both rendered in grayish ivory.
《静物》（Still-life, 1942）常被誉为莫兰迪的杰作。这幅灰色的画给人一种原始宁静的感觉。有凹槽的瓶子与一个翻转的碗配对，都是灰色的象牙色。
The fluted bottle is put front and center, a little shy of being a real close-up.Without any suggestion of a ledge or a tabletop, indispensable for conventional still-life, the opaque foreground is painted in light steel gray.
有凹槽的瓶子放在前面和中心，有点害羞，作为一个真正的特写。没有任何暗示的窗台或桌面，不可缺少的传统静物，不透明的前景被涂在浅钢灰色。
The background is also empty except for some loose brushes gliding from gray to beige, a range summarized adequately by the neologism "graige."Given the bare, essential, and timeless traits, everything combined in the light-hued picture conveys a kind of utopian serenity.
背景也是空白的，除了一些松散的笔刷从灰色滑到米色，这个范围用新词“灰色”来概括。“考虑到裸露、本质和永恒的特征，在浅色的画面中结合的一切都传达了一种乌托邦式的宁静。”
Over time, the framework of Morandi's moderate canvas has kept pushing forward.No longer confined to world-class museums, the spirit of his art has reached almost every nook and cranny of daily life.Yet all this constitutes a paradoxical question that gives us much gray hair after the very comfort of enjoying the charming art: How would the reclusive artist have responded to this scale of popularity?
随着时间的推移，莫兰迪温和画布的框架一直在向前推进。他的艺术精神不再局限于世界级的博物馆，几乎渗透到日常生活的每一个角落和缝隙。然而，所有这一切构成了一个矛盾的问题，在享受了迷人的艺术的舒适之后，让我们有了更多的白发：这位隐居的艺术家会如何应对这种程度的受欢迎？
