Lucio Fontana was an Argentine painter, sculptor, and theorist, known for inventing Spatialism–an art movement that focused on not just art, but its surrounding environment, creating synergy between color, space, sound and movement in art. Fontana was also known for creating holes, or slashes, through his monochrome paintings–Concetto Spaziale, 1972–which he referred to as “art for the Space Age.” Fontana’s works explored the idea of space and dimension, intended to tie art with the cosmos.
