Catalogue Note
"All'inizio degli anni Sessanta, Fontana si dedica con particolare impegno sopratutto al ciclo degli olii. Materia duttile, che permette di iscrivervi e affondarvi il segno del gesto che graffisce o del gesto che buca e lacera. I primi, ancora di per sé d'impianto linguistico informale, enunciano zone di materia a olio soltanto su una parte della tela...(...) quindi Fontana cerca di definire delle 'forme' materiche con l'olio, mimando persino le pietre, oppure cercando di definire grandi forme come anni prima in certi gessi".
