Remo Brindisi - Woman with Child

The iconography of motherhood is closely linked to the subject of the Madonna and Child. It is probably one of the most popular iconographies in the history of both Western and Eastern art. The Madonna and Child appears since the dawn of medieval painting and remained a constant subject as long as religious themes dominated artistic production (that is, until the 19th century, when themes inspired by everyday life began to be introduced). It is quite common for contemporary artists to treat the iconography of motherhood without directly linking it to the Christian religion.

The work of artist Remo Brindisi is essentially based on an expressionist approach, synthesising and abstracting subjects, even when they draw on traditional iconography. Remo Brindisi's expressionism is expressed through a synthesis of the subject through curved, sinuous lines. This brings him closer to Fauvism, from which, however, the Italian painter distances himself when, in addition to reducing forms, he also applies a sort of elongation. It's as if the subjects were stretched, contracting and lengthening, taking on a greater dynamism than in historical Expressionism. Even in terms of color, Remo Brindisi's palette, in these more figurative works, eschews Fauvist aggression, opting for bright yet balanced hues.

Remo Brindisi was born in Rome in 1918 and died in Lido di Spina in 1996. His first solo exhibition was held in Florence in 1940. From that moment on, he continued to enjoy great renown. His painting cycles, "Venezie", "Oppositori", "Pastorelli", and "Maternità", are famous. He also painted a cycle on the history of Fascism. His works have been exhibited in numerous shows in Italy and abroad (Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, Cairo, and São Paulo, Brazil). Between the 1940s and 1950s, he participated in various editions of the Rome Quadrennial and the Venice Biennale.
