In the 1930s, Fontana started exploring the potentials of high-fired ceramics both in Albisola and Sèvres, creating a number of figurative works – still lifes, animals, female heads, and religious subjects – in which realism succumbs to the expressive tension of the material, the torsions and consolidations of which lend the sculptures their dynamism. The use of iridescence and non-naturalistic colours augments the antimimetic impact, as do the Neo-Baroque undertones repeatedly pointed out by art critics. Albisola was also the place where Fontana made his first ‘Cuttings’ in 1953/54, a long time before the more famous versions on canvas.
