Description: Milano: Skira, 2013. 28cm., pbk., 288pp., 240 color illus. Italian-English text. Summary: “Thinking back over the work I’ve been doing for many years, I mentally remember all my paintings and I can say with satisfaction that my painting of today is still my painting of yesterday.” Antonio Calderara’s painting career, examined in these pages full of unpublished work, seems extremely long (over sixty years) and anything but uniform. Yet one cannot comprehend the truest dimension of his work merely through an analysis based exclusively on language and form, because it originates in the artist’s deep-seated need to go right to the very essence of painting, to “understand what painting is.” To him, it was not just a technique and a craft, rather it was “linked by a common thread called light,” which led him in his mature years towards a “nothingness that is everything,” towards the “infinite.” It is here, then, and not in his style, that we find the continuous and never forsaken or betrayed register on which the unity and coherence of Calderara’s thought and action take place.
