1940-1956
Lyrical and Social Realism
Gianbecchina, having gone through the Milan experience of Corrente, from 1940 onwards, gave life to a painting characterized by a wholly original realism.
To the tragic dualism (Realism- Abstractionism), which for too many years paralyzed the evolution of Italian art after World War II, Gianbecchina responded with an interesting "third way," a real personal poetics: Lyrical Realism.
The turn of Lyrical Realism is the declination of art toward the recovery of a non-ideological real.
