About the Item
Image dimensions: 18 x 18 cm.
"Composition" is an original colored serigraph on paper, realized by the Italian artist Antonio Calderara (1903-1978) and published in 1978 by La Nuova Foglio, a publishing house of Macerata, Italy.
The original print is glued to a white cardboard sheet of square format. Numbered in pencil and signed on the back and in pencil by Carmela Calderara under the print signature (a blue ink stamp) of the artist, this written applies to a certificate of authenticity. Edition of 99 prints.
Our serigraph representing a light orange geometrical composition of square format composed by regular orange and pink horizontal stripes is a result of the lifetime search of an artist, that aligning with the searches of the main European aniconic masters like Max Bill, Mondrian, Albers, Mavigner, had tried to answer the question: what is the painting?
Antonio Calderara (Abbiategrasso, 1903 - Vacciago, 1978)
Self-taught and changeable artist, he has a figurative debut to then approach the artistic movement of the Italian twentieth century.
In 1954 the study of Mondrian's work led him first to the study of light and then to a progressive loss of the landscape reference, increasingly moving towards an aniconic expressive form that saw him participate in European research, above all of German origin. In his autobiography he traces the first non-figurative painting to 1959.
Throughout his life, almost entirely spent in isolation near Lake Orta, he wondered about the role of light and color in an attempt to answer the question: what is painting?
