Giuseppe Migneco (1908-1997) - La Lanterna

In 1937 he was among the founders of the movement Corrente, which grouped artists from different cultural horizons with the shared aim of opening up to European modern culture, rejecting the cultural isolation imposed by fascist politics. In Corrente, over time, artists with very diverse visions of art gathered, initially united to reject painting canons that had become outdated, who would then take different paths, such as Badodi, Birolli, Broggini, Cassinari, Cherchi, Gauli, Guttuso, Manzù, Morlotti, Paganin, Sassu, Valenti, and Vedova. In the postwar period Migneco refined his taste for social realism, under the influence of Mexican mural painters. In 1958 he participated in the Venice Biennale. With colors always strong and vibrant that recall his Sicily.
