Renato Guttuso (1911-1987) is one of Italy's most widely respected modern painters. Towards the end of the 1930s his powerful brand of expressionist realism vividly conveyed the angst of a generation which wanted its art to reflect and engage with the urgency of contemporary life.
Rejecting both the formalism of abstract painting and the naturalism advocated by those on the far right of Fascism's cultural establishment, Guttuso played a key role in forging a style that would go on to dominate Italian art during the immediate post-war years.
