Italian Modernist painter Mario Sironi's (1885-1961) paintings spoke through a unique palette of incessantly dialectical lights and shadows, blacks and whites, browns and ochres. Reproduced here is a selection of works that, with the exception of his futurist period, span his entire career: the urban landscapes of the 1920s, compositions of the 1930s, and explosions of elaborate multiple works of the 1940s and 1950s.
