Basilicata 1975

"Basilicata" is a 1975 photograph by Franco Fontana, a leading figure in Italian color photography. The image presents a minimalist landscape, with a clear blue sky above a sharply divided field of vibrant green and yellow. Fontana's work is characterized by its bright, saturated colors and geometric compositions. He often captures landscapes as abstract patterns, highlighting their formal qualities over their narrative content. "Basilicata" exemplifies this approach, inviting the viewer to appreciate the aesthetic beauty of the scene.
