Description : Ultima notte di Mussolini con Claretta

Drawing on paper. The drawing is signed lower left, the letter is signed and dated. This is a unique letter written by Brindisi to a friend in 1961, in which he recounts his struggle to work on a series of works on fascism, which he created between 1960 and 1961. The letter is accompanied by a drawing, a sketch for the large-scale work "Last Night of Claretta Petacci and Mussolini" (oil on canvas, 180 x 200 cm), in which faces are grotesquely transfigured to represent historical horror. It is the work of the prominent Italian painter Remo Brindisi, whose painting, based on a descriptive and realistic approach in his early works, added expressionist nuances in his later works, giving rise to his own neo-figurative language. His work is always imbued with social and political intent. Brindisi also worked as a sculptor, illustrator, writer, set designer, and cultural curator. It comes from a private collection in Milan. In frame.
