8. Lucio Fontana
Concetto spaziale, Attese 1961
Lucio Fontana’s respect for the advancements of science and technology during the 20th century led him to approach his art as a series of investigations into a wide variety of mediums and methods. From 1947 on, Fontana’s experiments were often entitled Concetti spaziali (Spatial concepts). During this period he punctured the surface of his canvases, breaking the membrane of two-dimensionality in order to highlight the space behind the picture.
