Renato Guttuso
1912–1987
(b Bagheria, nr. Palermo, 2 Jan. 1912; d Rome, 18 Jan. 1987). Italian painter. He was a forceful personality and Italy's leading 20th-century exponent of Social Realism; he never subordinated artistic quality to political propaganda, but his art was often the direct expression of his hatred of injustice and of the abuse of power.
