Description: A vigorous felt-tip drawing of fragmented, interlocking faces and profiles in orange-red, green, black and grey hatching — a characteristic example of Brindisi’s “Volti,” in the expressionist, neo-figurative language of his maturity. Remo Brindisi was a major Italian painter of the twentieth century, born in Rome and based in Milan; descriptive and realist at first, his work took on expressionist accents and a personal idiom charged with social meaning, with recurring themes of “Pastorali,” “Opposti,” “Venezie” and “Volti.” His first solo show (Florence, 1940) was introduced by Eugenio Montale; he exhibited in Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, Cairo and São Paulo, presided over the Triennale di Milano, and founded a museum of modern art at Lido di Spina. Signed, dated and dedicated by hand.
