![Fausto Pirandello - Still Life with Musical Instruments [c.1940]](http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5707/23776333582_735be344eb_o.jpg)
Fausto Pirandello (Rome, 1899 - Rome, 1975) was an Italian painter. After a short experience in Paris, where he met the most important artistic personalities of the time between 1920 and 1930, Pirandello entered the movement of Scuola Romana, distinguishing himself for originality and solitary exploration. His painting tends towards a quotidian realism manifested at times in the more unpleasant and pitiless aspects of life, expressed through a dense and thorny pictorial matter. Pirandello changed his style around the 1950s, re-absorbing influences from the cubists.
