Antonio Calderara (Abbiategrasso 1903 - Vacciago 1978). "I would like color to lose its nature of matter and purify itself into the reality of light," the artist wrote. While because of the inherent uniqueness of his work it is difficult to trace him within a current, his research on abstraction is affected by influences from Fontana's Spatialists on the one hand, and German and Swiss artists from the analytic area on the other. Beginning with basic optic-perceptual figuration, his investigation since 1959 has approached abstraction, which consists of the use of light seen in time and space.

Antonio Calderara
Antonio Calderara is a self-taught and changeable artist. In 1954, the study of Mondrian's work led him first to the study of light and then to a progressive loss of the landscape reference, increasingly moving towards an aniconic expressive form that saw him participate in European research, mostly ones of German origin. In his autobiography, he traces the first non-figurative painting to 1959. Calderara spent most of his life in isolation near Lake Orta, most of which he spent wondering about the role of light and color in an attempt to answer the question, what is painting?

- Italian Abstract Work on Paper Color Field Non-Objective European Mid-CenturyBy Piero DorazioLocated in New York, NYItalian Modern Abstract Work on Paper Color Field Non-Objective European Mid-Century - "Gonage" Dorazio completed "Gonage" in 1949 when just after the artist had been awarded a stipend by the French government and admission to the Academy Beaux Arts. There he met George Braque who became great friends but also an influence on Dorazio, of which "Gonage" is a living testament. "Gonage" actual size of the drawing measures 12 x 9 1/2 inches. It is signed on the lower right. The work is affixed to a 19 x 15 inch board which includes the artist's signature and date. There is a torn table on the lower left entitling the piece "Gonage". Provenance follows this piece as a gift in 1950 to the artist-colleague Luigi Lucioni, who then gifted it in 1955 to his friend, the uncle of the current owner who has owned the work since 1988. Bio Born in Italy, Piero Dorazio studied architecture in Rome. At the same time his first abstract works were executed. In 1947 he received a scholarship from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, where he contacted Modern artists, who lived in Paris. He founded the galleries "Age d'Or" in Florence and Rome to represent avant-garde arts in Italy. During a one year stay in the USA he got acquainted with leading artists of Abstract Expressionism such as Marc Rothko...Category
