Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the works of art associated with the aesthic doctrines developed by Argentine-Italian artist Lucio Fontana (1899-1968). The style is characterized by a desire to end the separation of architcture, painting and sculpture by synthesizing elements such as color, sound, space, motion and time into a new kind of total art. Notable are Fontana's canvases with have holes or slits, that cast shadows upon the surface.
