REGINA CASSOLO BRACCHI

BORN
LIVES&WORKS
1894, Mede, Italy
1974, Milan, Italy

With her art, Regina showed how, in sculpture, mass can become dynamic projections of planes onto space, and how shapes can develop the lightness necessary to establish a new, multi-dimensional relationship with the environment and the context they exist in. One of the protagonists of Futurism, she investigated the aesthetic possibilities of different materials: tin, sandpaper, aluminium, iron wire, plastics. She went beyond the concept of statuary by continually experimenting to later arrive at MAC (Concrete Art Movement) with a lexicon of geometrical synthesis and lyrical abstraction.
