Spazio Luce 1961

"Spazio Luce" is a 1961 work by Italian artist Antonio Calderara (1903-1978). The minimalist painting consists of a single, solid field of teal blue, an example of Calderara's work in geometric abstraction. The piece, like many of his works, was inspired by light and its relationship to space, demonstrating Calderara's interest in the formal elements of art. "Spazio Luce," a term meaning "space light," exemplifies Calderara's focus on the essence of color and form, inviting the viewer to contemplate the interaction of these elements within a defined space.
