Venice, LA, 1990
The pioneering Italian colour photographer Franco Fontana (born 1933, Italy) is renowned for his intense and abstracted landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes and bodyscapes. His work features bold and vibrant colours, capturing landscapes, urban scenes, and everyday objects in a way that transforms them into abstract and visually striking compositions. His daring use of colour and the influence of abstract expressionism and minimalism in this work have earned him comparisons to the work of Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman
