Enrico Castellani

Enrico Castellani (1930–2017) was an important figure in the European postwar avant-garde, co-founding the experimental journal, Azimuth, and the Galleria Azimut with Piero Manzoni. Through his art and writings, Castellani proposed an approach to painting that challenged the traditional conception of the canvas as a transparent window, opening his work onto a new space of topographical abstraction that engaged notions of space, time, infinity, and flux.
