Giuseppe Migneco - Untitled

The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.

Pietro Migneco's style, in line with the artistic program developed by the "Corrente" group, is inspired by an expressionist language. Migneco's synthesis is achieved through a very thick line that outlines the figures and accentuates their physiognomy. The characters in his works are, therefore, men or women of working-class backgrounds with very pronounced facial features. In this work, Migneco pushes even further toward formal synthesis. The subject is constructed with large, detached brushstrokes that create a powerfully abstract image.

Giuseppe Migneco, born in Messina in 1903, died in Milan in 1997. In 1937, he was among the founders of the artistic group "Corrente," which brought together several artists united by the common goal of rejecting fascist conformism and opening up to European horizons. The aim was to propose an art with human, moral, and civil content. The entire group oriented itself toward a predominantly expressionist style.
