Lucio Fontana - The Artist's Materials
This is the first English language technical study of one of the most important Italian artists of the post-WWII period. Best known for his tagli - slashed, mostly monochromatic canvases - Fontana fashioned a remarkably multifaceted oeuvre that encompasses architecture, sculpture, and ceramics, as well as painting. Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) is widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative post-World War II Italian artists.
This richly illustrated book presents the first technical study in English of this important painter. In his quest to expand the vocabulary of his art, Fontana subjected the pictorial surface of his paintings to a remarkable assortment of punctures, gashes, and slashes, as well as adornments of glass fragments, glittering aluminium flakes, and sand. Initial chapters present an informative overview of Fontana's life and work.
