About the Item

Allegories: Lies is a vintage poster realized by the Italian artist Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, 1911 – Rome, 1987) in 1981. Colored Offset on paper. The artwork was realized on the occasion of the exhibition realized in 1981 at Galleria Rondanini in Rome. The offset poster depicts the artwork Le Allegorie: Le Menzogne realized by the artist in 1979 Printed on the lower left corner: Renato Guttuso - Le Allegorie: Le Menzogne - 1979. Allegories: Lies is an excellent artwork realized in Italy in the Second half of the XX Century by the Italian artist Renato Guttuso (Bagheria, 1911 – Rome, 1987). His father Gioacchino, a land-surveyor and amateur watercolourist, and his mother Giuseppina d’Amico, due to disagreements with their own town depending on their liberal ideas, registered the birth on 2 January 1912 in Palermo. In his birthplace Guttuso discovered painting at a very early age; as he himself wrote: “… among my father’s watercolours, the studio of the painter Domenico Quattrociocchi and the workshop of the cart painter Emilio Murdolo my path was taking shape when I was six, seven, ten years old…”.Guttuso was awarded the Lenin Prize at the time of his exhibition at the Art Academy in Moscow, 1972. The same year a large retrospective toured Eastern Europe calling at Praha, Bucarest, Bratislava and Budapest. Two major paintings belong to this period: La Vucciria (1974), later presented by the artist to the University of Palermo, and Caffe Greco (1976), now in the Ludwig Collection, Cologne. Guttuso illustrated Verga’s Malavoglia, 1978 and Virgil’s Aeneid, 1980. In 1976 he was elected a Senator of the Republic for the Italian Communist Party in the constituency of Sciacca. In 1973 Guttuso selected a relevant collection of works, both his own and by other artists, which would form the core of the future municipal art gallery of Bagheria.
