Information
Manipulated polaroid mounted on original passepartout
cm 10,7 x 8,8 (cm 18 x 13 passepartout) | 4.2 x 3.4 in. (7 x 5.2 in. passepartout)
It is a pleasure, in the year of his 90th birthday, to present this wide selection of images by Franco Fontana, who is an absolute master of colour. Here we move from Polaroids to abstract research, from nudes to ironic montages such as the one on Nancy Reagan, to urban visions here set in Sicily and Venice. And then there are the landscapes, but what can we say about those except that they are classics that are now part of our visual imagination?
