A pioneer of abstract art since 1915, Alberto Magnelli returned in 1920, after the colorful whirlwind of the Lyrical Explosions of 1918-1919 which marked the end of the First World War, to another approach to painting which, although it may seem more classical with its figures or landscapes, is nonetheless - as Magnelli himself would say - an invented painting. These ten years, the last that he would spend in Italy before fleeing the rise of fascism, were those in which he would seek how to invent a modern painting that would rediscover the strength and sobriety of the ancient works which, from Giotto to Piero Della Francesca, would make him, in turn, one of those rigorous constructors of form and geometric space.
