Lucio Fontana
Lucio Fontana (Argentina/Italy, 1899–1968) was a groundbreaking artist and founder of Spatialism. Known for his iconic Concetto Spaziale works, he pierced and slashed canvases to explore space, light, and materiality, revolutionizing the concept of painting as a medium.

What is abstract expressionism?
Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that emerged in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Characterized by large, abstract canvases, the movement emphasized spontaneous, expressive brushwork and the use of color and form to convey emotion rather than represent reality. Artists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning are key figures in this movement. Abstract Expressionism marked a shift in the art world, making New York City a center of the international art scene.
