Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) was an Argentine born Italian artist best known as the father of Spatialism, an art movement which focuses on the attempt to bring art outside of its 2-dimensional space. Throughout his life, Fontana traveled between Argentina and Italy, working as both a painter and sculptor. He shared circles with expressionists and other abstract artists. While he was in Italy in 1949, Fontana began his famous slash series, a style of art that was uniquely his.
