Renato Birolli ( December 10 , 1905 - May 3 , 1959 ) was an Italian painter. BIOGRAPHY Birolli was born at Verona to a family of industrial workers. In 1923 he moved to Milan where he formed an avanguardist group with other artists such as Renato Guttuso , Giacomo Manzù and Aligi Sassu . In 1937 he was a member of the artistical movement called ''Corrente''. in the same year he was arrested by the Fascist government: in the following years he largely left the painting activity to devote himself to the Communist propaganda and, later, to the support of the partisan resistance. After World War II , in 1947, Birolli moved to Paris . Here his painting style changed swiftly under the influences of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso , moving first to a post- Cubist position and then to a somehow abstract form of lyrism. He died suddenly at Milan in 1959. EXTERNAL LINKS |
