An art of synthesis and extreme simplification ", with these words Margherita Saffatti defined the artistic rigor expressed by Mario Sironi in 1916, years before his accession to the Republic of Salò and those values that, in the heart of the fall of the fascist regime, will come to unravel in the soul of the artist, with the consequent emergence of that sense of emptiness that permeates the works of the period. & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; The trace of the graphic container is immediate and results in a chiaroscuro attempt on the woman's profile, whose face is pervaded by an evident aura of melancholy.
