Liberio Reggiani - Young

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to capture their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The style of painter Liberio Reggiani, in much of his work, is characterized by the development of a strongly expressionist language. The artist seeks to go beyond what is perceived by the senses to extrapolate the true essence of reality and communicate it on canvas in a lively and dramatic manner. For this reason, through the application of color, he develops a highly synthesised process that reduces his subjects to dense, material layers, in which the painter's emotion is also the protagonist, conveyed through his brutal gestures. All these elements together constitute the expressionistic power of Liberio Reggiani's painting, which undoubtedly draws inspiration from the historical German avant-garde movements such as the Brucke group. The angular images emerge almost with difficulty, establishing a struggle with the pictorial material.

Liberio Reggiani (Nice, 1931). In 1959 he participated in the Rome Quadrennial. Expressively, his works are characterized by a strong, almost violent, immediacy achieved through the use of bold, aggressive colors. He belongs to the "expressive realism" movement, and his works depict the tragedy of the human condition both during the war and in the decadent and ferocious environment of the metropolis. He thus embodies the philosophy of crisis, expressed in all its crudeness.
