I quanta (1960) by Lucio Fontana

“I quanta” is an abstract artwork created in 1960 by Lucio Fontana, associated with the art movement Spatialism. The artwork consists of various red geometric shapes arranged on a white background, exhibiting Fontana’s exploration of space and form.

The artwork features multiple red, three-dimensional shapes that include polygons and a circle. Each shape is characterized by incisive slashes or punctures, invoking a sense of depth and space. The sharp lines and defined edges emphasize the break from traditional two-dimensional art forms, inviting viewers to contemplate the infinite possibilities beyond the canvas. The overall composition is minimalist yet thought-provoking, characteristic of Fontana’s innovative approach within the Spatialism movement.
