Romano Mussolini, A fine opera, 1950s, Oil on Canvas, Framed for sale at Pamono

“At the end of the work” he tells of a moment of the artistic production of a painter: when the work is finished, the tin of color is empty and the candle remains nothing but a mozzicone. A work that contains in itself the profound meaning of the repetition that arises from everyday life, an image seen and revised several times in the habit, almost need, to express itself on the canvas.

The painting of Romano Mussolini, then, can be recognized in the first blow: suggestive, with a rough and dynamic pictorial style that guarantees freshness and executive immediacy, from the brush stroke made of sudden flickers, effective in registering the light vibrations on objects, however pervaded by a Packed realism deriving from the artist’s technical ability.

Romano Mussolini was born in Forl in 1927 and disappeared in Rome in 2006. Essentially figurative painter who dedicated himself mainly to gender subjects such as clowns.
