Background:
The years 1937 - 39 are the most important of Guttuso's life: he moves permanently to Rome, his ateliers will often be at the center of his pictorial compositions and will become one of the most lively and interesting intellectual centers of the capital's cultural life, attended by personalities like Alberto Moravia, Antonello Trombadori and Mario Alicata who will have a decisive role in his adhesion to the Communist party, in which he will join in 1940.
These are the years of the extraordinary still lifes, of the Shooting in the countryside (dedicated to Federico Garcia Lorca), of the Escape from Etna, which will receive the Bergamo award, at that time the most important painting award in Italy. In the same year he meets his long-life partner, Mimise Dotti. He collaborates as a critic at Le Arti, Primato and Il Selvaggio, directed by Mino Maccari who dedicates an entire issue to his drawings (1939).
He paints nudes, landscapes, still lifes and realizes the scandalous Crucifixion (1940-41), his most famous artwork and one of the most significant paintings of the twentieth century. The painting, presented at the Bergamo award in the autumn of 1942, where it will receive the second prize, causes a great scandal and the Vatican prohibits religious from looking at the work. In 1940 at the Teatro delle Arti in Rome, directed by Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Renato Guttuso made his debut in musical scenography, signing sets and costumes for the Histoire
Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, Sicily, 1911 – Rome, 1987),
The name of the Sicilian artist is always associated with artworks of strong moral and political engagement: he was a fervent opponent of fascism and a devoted communist, and as an artist he supported Socialist Realism.

Renato Guttuso
Renato Guttuso was a famous Italian painter of the 20th century. Guttuso, born in a small town in Sicily, started painting when he was only 13. In 1938, he had his first solo exhibition in Rome. He founded the artistic movement "Fronte nuovo delle Arti'' in 1947. After the war, he continued painting in his most realistic style, referring to contemporary political themes. Beginning in 1950, Guttuso took part in the Venice Biennale many times and he held numerous solo shows in many museums and galleries in both Europe and America.
