In 1965, Lucio Fontana held an important exhibition at Galerie XX Siècle in Paris, titled "Concetti spaziali 1950-1964." This exhibition showcased his pioneering work in spatial concepts, where Fontana explored the notion of space in art by physically altering the canvas.
Fontana is renowned for his series "Concetto Spaziale," where he created slashed and perforated canvases, symbolizing a break from traditional painting and an entry into a new dimension of spatial exploration. His works from this period include his famous "tagli" (slashes) and "buchi" (holes), which were on display in this Paris exhibition.
Lucio Fontana (1899-1968)
Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) was an influential Italian-Argentine artist, best known for founding the Spatialism movement. His revolutionary "Concetti Spaziali" (Spatial Concepts) series featured slashed and punctured canvases, exploring the dimensions beyond traditional painting. By cutting through the canvas, Fontana sought to incorporate space and movement into his works, challenging conventional art forms. His theoretical writings, including the "Manifesto Blanco" of 1946, further articulated his vision for integrating modern technology and art. Fontana's legacy endures through his innovative approach, which continues to inspire contemporary artists.
