Exhibition Catalogue Magnelli and Peinture Inventée, presented at the Galerie Boulakia, Paris (19 october - 7 december 2017).
Immediately thereafter, he began to formulate a new approach to painting that, while it might seem more classic in terms of its subjects or landscapes, was nevertheless – as Magnelli defined it himself – a peinture inventée.
Over the course of the decade, the last he would live in Italy before fleeing the rise of fascism, he would strive to invent a style of resolutely modern painting that would nevertheless incorporate the force and sobriety of the works of Renaissance artists from Giotto to Piero della Francesca. These efforts would lead to his becoming a rigorous creator of geometric abstraction.
