The third-born child of the writer and playwright Luigi Pirandello, the young Fausto initially became interested in the figurative arts through sculpture, taking lessons in drawing from Lipinsky. Then, in 1920, following his entrance into the Accademia del Nudo in Rome, the allure of painting triumphed over the other artistic disciplines. Gauguin, Cézanne, van Gogh, Kokoschka and the Italians Armando Spadini and Felice Carena were the objects of his admiration and study. Towards the end of the 1920s a trip to Paris brought Pirandello into contact with “les italiens de Paris”, the name given to De Chirico, Savinio, Severini, Tozzi, Paresce and de Pisis who would all contribute to the development of Pirandello’s highly individual artistic language.
The 1930s and 40s represent the most mature and successful period of Pirandello’s art. The paintings from these years present us with expansive nudes, mellow still lifes and enigmatic interiors originating in an exploration of the metaphysical and the shifting perspectives of post-Cubist art and study of the past, from Piero della Francesca to Mantegna.
In 1935 the Rome Quadriennale dedicated a whole room to him, and following on from this, he participated in the great exhibition of Italian art in Budapest.
