"He is the enemy of media purity, and chooses the ambiguous borders between the arts, where paintings look like sculpture and sculpture meet painting halfway, in a series of overlappings and conflations."
Lawrence Alloway, in Ten Paintings of Venice, exhibition catalogue, Martha Jackson Gallery, New York 1961
"[Fontana] è il nemico della purezza dei media e ha scelto l'ambiguo confine tra le arti, dove i dipinti sembrano sculture e la scultura incontra la pittura a metà strada, in una serie di sovrapposizioni e mescolanze".
