THE COLLECTION

The collection is totally dedicated to Renato
Guttuso and consists in about 120 works among the most significant of the
sicilian painter, who surely has been one of the main protagonist of the
italian artistic scene in the XX century. For artistic note, number, wideness of the period to
which these works belong, from 1931 to 1986, the collection represents the
most important of Guttuso and is, without doubt, a special vantage point for
a critical re-reading of the whole production of the artist. Many are the very masterpieces, from one of the
first, intense trial of a young Guttuso, the San Sebastiano of 1931,
to the intense simbology of the Natura morta con drappo rosso of
1942, from the dramatic, psychological and social study of the Fumatore
of 1958, till the calm and allegorical memorandum of Spes contra Spem of
1982. To about eighty paintings, many of which are very
big (300 x |
