Oil painting on canvas depicting the city of Venice, created by Remo Brindisi in the 1970s. Diameter 50 cm, height 59 cm including frame. A 20th-century verist painter, he was born in Rome in 1918. His artistic studies led him to travel extensively, visiting cities such as Florence, Paris, and Venice before moving to Milan. During the Second World War, he was called to serve and was imprisoned by the Germans but, after successfully escaping, he took refuge in Venice until the Liberation. Between the 1940s and 1950s, he participated in the Venetian Biennales and also the Roman Quadrennials, with tendencies close to the informal style. In the 1970s, he was also president of the Milan Triennale. His passion for art led him to found the Museo Alternativo (Alternative Museum) in Lido Spina, with the aim of collecting works by major contemporary artists. He received awards and recognition even outside national borders. His paintings are linked to social and political themes. During the Fascist twenty-year period, his work aimed to recount the faults and horrors that the human soul was capable of generating. His works still speak to us of personal, inner feelings, traumatic memories that re-emerge even after years like nightmares.
