Oil on canvas. Signed and dated upper right. On the back the title and address of the artist's studio in Milan. Bepi Romagnoni, a young Milanese artist who died tragically at a young age, was an exponent of the pictorial movement of existential Realism that was inspired by the philosophy of Kierkegaard, Camus, Sartre: this inspiration is found in the themes chosen as the subject of his works - empty , the lack of communication between the characters, the loneliness and the differences between social classes - both in the pictorial ones and in the subsequent collages. He was always updated towards international contemporary art (such as the Cobra group and the European informal) and also became interested in the Mexican muralist painting of José Clemente Orozco, beginning to suffer in his production of strong expressionistic accents, and then, from the end of the 50s and early 60s, surrealist influences, populating his painting with graphic signs and sometimes creating phytomorphic and zoomorphic images. the work is presented in a frame.

Additional Information
Artist: Bepi Romagnoni (1930-1964)
Born in Milan in 1930, Bepi Romagnoni is considered one of the exponents of Italian existential realism. He began his painting studies in the early 1950s by enrolling in the evening school of the Brera Academy. Here he met for the first time some of the painters of the so-called existential realism such as Mino Ceretti, Giuseppe Guerreschi, Giuseppe Martinelli and Tino Vaglieri, who were inspired by the philosophy of Kierkegaard, Camus, Sartre, authors who had attracted Romagnoni's interest in years of early youth. Romagnoni's first solo show was at the Schettini Gallery in Milan. From 1957 to 1960 he approaches informal art. In 1963 one of his works was exhibited at the Contemporary Italian Paintings exhibition, set up in some Australian cities. The following year he died prematurely due to an underwater fishing accident in Capo Carbonara.

Artistic technique: Painting
La pittura è l'arte che consiste nell'applicare dei pigmenti a un supporto come la carta, la tela, la seta, la ceramica, il legno, il vetro o un muro. Essendo i pigmenti essenzialmente solidi, è necessario utilizzare un legante, che li porti a uno stadio liquido, più fluido o più denso, e un collante, che permetta l'adesione duratura al supporto. Chi dipinge è detto pittore o pittrice. Il risultato è un'immagine che, a seconda delle intenzioni dell'autore, esprime la sua percezione del mondo o una libera associazione di forme o un qualsiasi altro significato, a seconda della sua creatività, del suo gusto estetico e di quello della società di cui fa parte.
