I mean that it is not necessary for a painter to be of one party or another, or to make a war, or to make a revolution, but it is necessary for him to act, in painting, how he does a war or a revolution " . (Cit. Renato Guttuso) Distant from that pictorial abstraction that distorts the forms, Guttuso does not cancel the portrait subject.
