Lorenzo Viani: biography, works, exhibitions, and museums<\/h2>\n

Who was Lorenzo Viani<\/h2>\n

Lorenzo Viani (Viareggio, 1882 \u2013 Lido di Ostia, 1936) was an Italian painter, writer, and engraver.<\/p>\n

He is considered one of the leading exponents of Social Realism (Verismo sociale) in Italy and dedicated his art to depicting the lives of the working classes, often through sad and raw subjects, with an expressionist and incisive style.<\/p>\n

Art for me is the exaltation of the impossibility of revolt, of excess and, if you like, of madness.<\/em> Lorenzo Viani<\/p>\n
