 Description 
The painting by Mario Bardi, belonging to the artistic movement of Magic realism,Mario Bardi, Repressione (Milano, 1898), 1966, RAAM Museo del Novecento di Milano, cm 115x141, inv. n. GAM 007932) it is a work of social denunciation of the human condition. The work analyzes the exploitation of man, through iconography Bardi configures the protagonists who dominate society and the world, a feudal, pre-Enlightenment world, derided by laws and customs that are ironic when not ferocious of repression. Which still survives in a predatory way hiding behind the tempting masks of hypocrisy. Mario Bardi's message rings alive and legitimate, innervating his painting.Carlo Munari, Gianni Vianello, "Arte moderna italiana: dal liberty al comportamentismo", Ed. Fratelli Conte, 1979, pgg. 104
