Biography
Antonio Calderara (1903–1978) was an Italian painter of concrete and geometrical abstraction. He is regarded as a central figure of European post-war art and is especially known for his strictly composed, light-filled color-field paintings. After an early phase of figurative painting, Calderara from the 1950s developed a reduced, abstract visual language based on clear geometric structures, subtle color modulations, and a meditative handling of light.
His works are closely connected with international movements such as Concrete Art and Minimalism. Calderara was a member of the group “Gruppo di ricerca estetica” and took part in major exhibitions in Europe and the USA. Today paintings and works on paper by Antonio Calderara are represented in important museum collections and achieve stable demand on the international art market, particularly in the field of Italian abstract art of the 20th century.
