Sciascia e Guttuso : andar per nodi

2023 - Leo S. Olschki

P. 177-186

  • Two strong personalities of the Twentieth Century, Guttuso and Sciascia had a shared place of cultivation in Sicily and always recognised the island as the nucleus of their expressiveness. However in their work they modelled different realities of thought: the artist was ideological and aligned, while the writer was idealistic and liberatory. Their differences became ever more acute during the 1980s, to the point where their friendship ruptured, due to political reasons and also, as documented in a collection of letters about an editorial project which was never completed, due to aesthetic values.
