The book aims to investigate affinities and points of tangency between Lucio Fontana and Alberto Giacometti, two pillars of twentieth-century art, whose works are placed at the center of an unprecedented and surprising dialogue.
Figures of opposite temperaments, but accompanied by the same magnificent obsession with the invisible within and without, Giacometti and Fontana work matter in search of the absolute. Sealing the eternal within the confines of the modeled, the practice of both hinges on gesture and manipulation, on concentration and the renunciation of definitive form. It is a poignant sense of the sacred that nourishes their drive toward the unfathomable mystery of existence: a tension often translated into an inquiry into the formal and semantic value of emptiness, understood as an allegory of a possibility beyond the visible.

Hardback. Etat : New. The works of Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) and Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), two notable authors of 20th century art, are compared for the first time in a project aimed at illustrating their points of tangency, the result of a shared sentiment whose ultimate aspiration is the search for the absolute.The volume therefore presents the ideal encounter and the powerful dialogue between these two figures, so distant in attitudes and in life, but equally linked by a reflection on the truth in art, which blossomed against the background of an era afflicted by questions about man and its role in the universe.Both have worked on matter by removing its encumbrance and opacity, poised between the primordial dimension of time and the cosmological dimension of space, animated by the same magnificent obsession, that for the invisible that is inside and outside of us, in the flesh and in the cosmos, in cells and stars.Texts by: Sergio Risaliti, Chiara Gatti, Paolo Campione, Alessandro Del Puppo, Serenella Todesco, Marco Senaldi, Cristina Beltrami, Marco Fagioli.
