Franco Fontana

The signature

Saturated, geometric color landscapes flattened into pure bands of form.

What to study

From Modena, in your region, Fontana turned the landscape into abstraction through intense color and graphic geometry. Study how he composes with blocks of color and line until a field becomes a Rothko. A reminder that color, too, is a serious language.

Italian context

An Emilian master, born in Modena, the great Italian colorist.

Why for Matias

When you switch to your U3 color mode, Fontana shows what color can do when treated as pure form.
