Lucio Fontana
Founder of the art movement ‘Spatialism’ or ‘Movimento Spaziale’. Spatialism combines ideas from the Dada movement, Tachism and Concrete art.[1] Fontana wanted to create art for “a new age” that would show the “real space of the world.” [2] What separated the movement from Abstract Expressionism was the concept of eradicating the art of the easel and paint, and try to capture movement and time as the main tenets in the work. Fontana’s most famous works are his slashed canvases, which broke right through the picture plane.

James Rosenquist. Painting Below Zero: Notes on a Life in Art. “Frank, funny, truthful, ironic and in every way an entertaining account of one major American artist’s involvement in an art movement that interests everyone–and, more than that, of his own character. Jim Rosenquist is a true American original and his book ought to be read by anyone who wants to understand the last half-century of his country’s visual culture, high, low, and in between.” –Robert Hughes, amazon |
