Memory

Bruno Pollacci

Today is September 7, and on this day, in 1968, the painter and sculptor Lucio Fontana died, founder of the Spatialist Movement, considered one of the most important exponents of Italian and international Contemporary Art. He was born in 1899 in Rosario, Argentina, to an Italian father and an Argentine mother. Moved to Italy as a child, he began to work artistically in his father's sculpture workshop. Since the end of the 1940s he began to pierce and cut the canvases, creating natural hollows and reliefs and thus creating a direct formal and chiaroscuro relationship between surface and space. Consequently, with his work The work ends "representing" and begins to "be", per se. This workof mine in sanguine and sepia is in his homage and memory.
