Gianni from Procida and Restituta d'Ischia

The work depicts Gianni Da Procida and Restituta d'ischia discovered by reFederigo (G. Boccaccio, 'Decameron', giornata V, novella 6). The expressionist realism of 'Corrente' (1940-42) is always present in this particularly incisive graphic proof of Guttuso, where in the tense and vibrant rendering of the masses is present that tension that has become the most coherent character of his art.
