biography
Renato Guttuso was born on December 26, 1911, in Bagheria, Sicily. Son of Gioacchino, a surveyor and amateur watercolorist, and Giuseppina d'Amico, he showed an early talent for art, encouraged by his father who introduced him to painting. By the age of thirteen, he created his first paintings, initially copies of 19th-century and contemporary works, later developing his own expressive style. In 1931, he exhibited at the Rome Quadriennale and founded the “Group of Four” in Palermo, marking the start of his artistic career. He moved to Rome in 1937, immersing himself in the anti-novecento artistic environment and developing an expressionist language with strong social commitment.
Guttuso is regarded as one of the leading figures of Italian neorealism, a movement aimed at depicting social reality with a language accessible to the working classes. His art is marked by strong political and social engagement, which led him to serve as a senator for the Italian Communist Party during Enrico Berlinguer's leadership. His works often reflect themes related to Sicily, the fight against fascism, and social injustices.
Throughout his life, Guttuso produced numerous paintings, drawings, and works on paper, many of which are held in important public and private collections. He died in Rome on January 18, 1987, leaving a significant artistic and political legacy in the Italian cultural scene of the 20th century.
