Biography
Lucio Fontana was an Argentine-Italian visual artist. Fontana mainly made abstract works of art and was one of the first artists to create environments. Lucio Fontana, is mainly known for the actual action he inflicted on his canvases. He stood in front of a prepared, often monochromatic, stretched canvas. After he had a certain concentration, he suddenly lashed out with a knife and stabbed his cloth. These cuts are called "tagli". The linen painting tears and under the pressure of the knife the space behind the painting becomes visible. He looked for accurate cuts that were refined in shape and rhythm. At Fontana, the painting equals the action. Artist Fontana has been a great source of inspiration for the Zero movement and the Zero group.
