After teaching experiences abroad, in 1943, Cordati returns to Barga. Through the works from the late Thirties to the Forties, discontinuities and changes can be observed both in linguistic registers, now directed towards a progressive departure from figurative definition, and in chromatic scales, which tend to decrease and lose the vibrant brightness of the Bulgarian works. As always, Cordati’s painting inserts itself and reflects the dynamics of the national culture in which the conflict between figuration and abstraction advances forcefully.
