Instead of a clear expression, only a suggestion remains. The faces of the figures are simplified beyond recognition, and their bodies are often reduced to shadowy representations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"IT\" style=\"font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New'; mso-ansi-language: IT;\"\u003eLater, he increasingly turned to oil brush drawing on paper.
