Fausto Pirandello

Fausto Calogero Pirandello (Rome,1899 - Rome,1975) son of Luigi Pirandello; he is considered one of the most important and representative artists of the Scuola Romana (the so-called Roman School). Pirandello is one the exponents of the Roman School, but standing out from them for originality and for a solitary research. The originality of his painting is oriented towards a realism of the everyday expressing itself through a dense and rough pictorial material. His vision, essentially intellectual, however, translates the even more brutal naturalistic into a sort of magical realism with an archaizing and metaphysical flavor. His style ranges from cubism, to tonalism, to realistic-expressionist forms.
