Fausto Calogero Pirandello (17 June – 30 November ) was an Italian painter belonging to the modern movement of the Scuola romana (Roman School).
He was the son of Nobel laureateLuigi Pirandello.[1]
Biography
After a short experience in Paris, where he met the most important artistic personalities of the time between and , Pirandello entered the movement of Scuola Romana, distinguishing himself for originality and solitary exploration.
His painting tends towards a quotidian realism manifested at times in the more unpleasant and pitiless aspects of life, expressed through a dense and thorny pictorial matter.[2] His vision is an intellectualist one, which however translates even the most brutal naturalist datum into a sort of magic realism with an archaic and metaphysical taste.[3]
Pirandello's style goes from cubism, to tonalism, to realist-expressionist forms:[4] Important in this period was his participation to the activities of literary magazine "Corrente di Vita".
Pirandello's work became an impressive testimony of a poet who interpreted in painting the analysing and psychological spirit of his father Luigi.[5]
Pirandello changed his style around the s, re-absorbing influences from the cubists (i.e., Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso), and thus living the troubled and difficult phase affecting the whole Italian painting art, between "realism" and "neocubism", yet achieving through the deformations of an expressionist approach, original formal solutions in between abstraction and figuration[6] His paintwork sought a new definition, with a strong reference to a cubist syntax in the colour tassellations and in those compositions where the narrative datum gradually loses importance.
