Skyline

€113.00
Abstract landscape photography by Franco Fontana. Skyline unites the work of analyses of natural forms, done between 1968 and 1977. The essential elements constituting the territory, such as lines, forms, colour, appear a real "landscape code."
Skyline is the first volume published by the Italian publishing house Punto e Virgola, which was founded by Luigi Ghirri in Modena. This work features a collection of 60 full-page color photographs by Franco Fontana, an artist recognized for his abstract color landscapes. The book explores a pictorial language where images are described as radiant and submerged in color, opening new horizons in the field of photography. It includes an introduction written in both English and Italian by Helmut Gernsheim. The publication is noted for its high-quality production, featuring over 55 color plates that showcase Fontana's unique aesthetic and his contribution to contemporary Italian photography. The work serves as a significant early publication in the Biblioteca di Fotografia series.
