Antonio Corazza - Untitled

Social themes in art began to gain prominence in the mid-19th century, coinciding with the spread of social questions throughout European societies. The work of painters such as Millet and Daumier, for example, favored subjects related to life in the fields, factory work, or strikes. In Italy, among the first painters to engage deeply with social themes were Pellizza da Volpedo and, in the contemporary era, Renato Guttuso.

The poetics of artist Antonio Corazza is aimed at celebrating the world of work and simple, popular lives. This celebration is conducted in such a way as to bring out all the strength and values ​​inherent to this world. Antonio Corazza's works are distinguished by a thin graphic line that constructs the figures with a frenetic rhythm of broken segments. This line is accompanied by a very fine hatching that dramatically creates highly evocative shadows.

Antonio Corazza was an artist born in Bologna in 1929 and died in Rome in 1980. He grew up in Cervignano del Friuli among rural people of humble origins, in contact with those forced to emigrate in search of better living conditions. In 1948, he had his first solo exhibition. In 1960, he moved to Rome, where he also entered the entertainment world, working as a set designer for Dino De Laurentiis. He began an intense exhibition program that led to his national fame.
