This is the first English language technical study of one of the
most important Italian artists of the post-WWII period. Lucio
Fontana (1899-1968) is widely regarded as one of the most
influential and innovative post-World War II Italian artists. 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. 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. This richly
illustrated book presents the first technical study in English of
this important painter. Initial chapters present an informative
overview of Fontana's life and work.
