In the post-war period, Migneco refined his taste for "social realism" under the influence of Mexican mural painters. One of his admirers called him "a wood carver who sculpts with a brush". In the 1950s, his fame, now consolidated, established Giuseppe Migneco among the masters of contemporary Italian art, exhibiting in the most prestigious national and foreign galleries: Gothenburg, Boston, Paris, Stuttgart, New York, Amsterdam, Hamburg and Zurich. He participated in 5 editions of the Venice International Art Exhibition from 1948 and then in 1950, 1952, 1954 and finally in the 1958 edition[1] and from 1948 in 5 editions (the V°, the VI°, the VII°, the VIII° and the XI°) of the Rome Quadriennale[2]. His always strong and vivid colors that recall his Sicily with violent and clear features, the hard and courageous faces make his canvases an expression of the existential struggle, in the continuous and profound confrontation with humanity and with the events that besiege it, in the conscience and hope of freedom and memory, beyond the absurd solitude of existence. Migneco died in Milan on February 28, 1997.
