Join us for a gallery talk on Antonio Calderara - part of Art History Festival 2024.
Antonio Calderara (1903-1978) was an artist who spent most of his life in a small town on the shores of Lake Orta in the north of Italy. However, like Giorgio Morandi – with whom his work contains marked affinities – he was in no sense an isolated or ‘provincial’ figure. Familiar with contemporary artistic trends and debates both at home and abroad, his essays in minimalist abstraction dating from the late 1950s are particularly attuned to the works of American colour field painters such as Barnett Newman and Ad Reinhardt.
This talk will situate Calderara’s fascinating life and career in both a domestic and international context, revealing a figure whose artistic horizons extended far beyond his small corner of Italy.
This event is part of Art History Festival 2024 organised by the Association for Art History.
Free. Advance booking is required.
