Renato Guttuso
From Bagheria

1936

About the Item

Autograph postcard signed by Renato Guttuso to the Countess Pecci-Blunt. On the front, there is a black and white reproduction of a landscape of Bagheria. On the back, there is a stamp, two postmarks, a brief autograph message of greetings and the Italian artist's original signature in black ink. From the postmarks, the date and the place of shipment can be read. Bagheria, April 24th 1936. Excellent conditions, with some little stains on the back. Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, Sicily, 1911 – Rome, 1987) wrote this postcard from his native Sicilian town, Bagheria, perhaps he was on holiday. In 1936, the same year of this postcard, the talented artist had to leave for military service in Milan, where he had the opportunity to meet Manzù, Birolli, Fontana, Antonio Banfi. In this fervid environment, his social art took shape from a moral and political engagement more and more evident in artworks like “Fucilazione in Campagna” 1937, “Fuga dall’Etna”, “Vucciria”, finally consecrated in the maximum expression of Social Realism like in “La Spiaggia” (1955) and “Carretti in Bagheria” (1956). One year after this postcard, he moved to Rome where he got closer to artists like Birolli, Fontana and Persico. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.
