On the back, there are three stamps, three postmarks, a brief autograph message of greetings and Guttuso and the Italian poet and cultural organizer Libero de Libero's signatures in blue pencil. From the postmarks, the date and the place of shipment can be read: Naples, May 28th 1938. Excellent conditions, with usual yellowing of the paper. Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, Sicily, 1911 – Rome, 1987), The same year of this postcard, 1938, the talented artist realized “Fucilazione in Campagna”, "Execution by Firing Squad in the Countryside", a painting depicting the violent assassination of the Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca by the fascist militia. His name is always associated with this artwork 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.
