Antonio Calderara (Abbiategrasso 1903 - Vacciago 1978). "I would like color to lose its nature of matter and purify itself into the reality of light," the artist wrote. While because of the inherent uniqueness of his work it is difficult to trace him within a current, his research on abstraction is affected by influences from Fontana's Spatialists on the one hand, and German and Swiss artists from the analytic area on the other. Beginning with basic optic-perceptual figuration, his investigation since 1959 has approached abstraction, which consists of the use of light seen in time and space.

Antonio Calderara
Antonio Calderara is a self-taught and changeable artist. 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, mostly ones of German origin. In his autobiography, he traces the first non-figurative painting to 1959. Calderara spent most of his life in isolation near Lake Orta, most of which he spent wondering about the role of light and color in an attempt to answer the question, what is painting?
