Nature

The Tate Gallery, London (the UK).

Bronze.

The talent of Lucio Fontana as a sculptor is manifested in a series of his works under the general title “Nature”. In them, as well as in the picturesque paintings “Spatial Concepts”, the artist applied his famous method of cutting, dividing the amorphous spherical figure in half with the help of a surgically accurate and even line. The sculpture has a primitive, even rough look. Installed directly on the gallery floor, it attracts your attention with its archaic energy and simple but effective form, which actively interacts with the surrounding space and the viewer.
