Remo Brindisi - Shepherd with Goats

The work has a marked expressionist vocation, which tends to emphasize the expression of emotions. Expressionist art seeks to proclaim its moods to the world and flaunt them with passion. Formally, this translates into a summary rendering of the figures, through a very nervous and animated line, as well as the use of a violent color palette. These characteristics are found in the historical avant-garde movements of expressionism: Fauvism and the Die Brucke movement in Germany.

Remo Brindisi's Expressionism is expressed through a synthesis of the subject through curved, sinuous lines. This brings him closer to Fauvism, from which, however, the Italian painter distances himself when, in addition to reducing forms, he also applies a sort of elongation. It's as if the subjects are stretched, narrowing and lengthening, taking on a greater dynamism than historical Expressionism. Even in terms of color, Remo Brindisi's palette eschews Fauvist aggressiveness, focusing on bright yet balanced hues.

Remo Brindisi was born in Rome in 1918 and died in Lido di Spina in 1996. His first solo exhibition was held in Florence in 1940. From then on, he enjoyed great renown. His painting cycles, "Venezie", "Oppositori", "Pastorelli", and "Maternità", are famous. He also painted a cycle on the history of Fascism. His works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in Italy and abroad (Paris, Nice, Milan, Venice, Rome, Cairo, and São Paulo, Brazil). Between the 1940s and 1950s, he participated in several editions of the Rome Quadrennial and the Venice Biennale.
