Description from the seller

Franco Fontana
Full Color

Book sold out, no longer in the catalog.

Fontana's style makes the gaze a particular interpreter of reality, turning a photographer into an author, in this case an author who has earned a full place in the history of Italian photography. Fontana, born in 1933, began dedicating himself to amateur photography in the early 1960s, staging his first solo show in Modena in 1968; by the early 1970s he was already an established color photographer. His choice went against the belief that 'high' photography had to be in black and white; a choice made precisely in the years when popular 'low' culture entered the world of photographic art, redefining its boundaries. His personal use of color, bright and vivid, real and abstract at the same time, combined with an original interpretation of the landscape, often read through essential geometric structures, brought him international notoriety. A retrospective is now celebrating the great Modenese master.
