Text by Paolo Campiglio, Andrea Bruciati, Luca Piero Nicoletti, Maria Grazia Messina, Lauretta Colonnelli, Letizia Fuochi, Marco Fagioli, Eva Francioli. Divine feminine force supplants demiurgic masculine energy in this new approach to Fontana’s work Through a selection of drawings and sculptures, this publication offers a new interpretation of the work of Argentine Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899–1968), moving away from its masculine connotations to examine the feminine aspects of the “cuts,” “holes” and graphic representations created with primary, furtive gestures.
