Antonio CALDERARA (1903–1978), color lithograph, Abstract Geometric Composition in Red, hand-signed, 1969 An expressive, geometrically abstract color lithograph by the Italian artist Antonio Calderara (1903–1978), created in 1969. The sheet is hand-monogrammed, dated, and numbered. The composition is dominated by vibrant shades of red and orange and features a strictly geometric arrangement of rectangular color fields. Two rectangles of different proportions form a harmonious, minimalist visual architecture within a large-scale red background. Two small, light-colored squares provide deliberate accents and lend the composition a subtle sense of spatial tension. Calderara is considered one of the leading figures of Italian geometric abstraction. His works are characterized by reduced forms, finely nuanced shades of color, and a sensitive interplay of light, space, and color. This work exemplifies his characteristic visual language. • Artist: Antonio Calderara (1903–1978)\ • Medium: Color lithograph\ • Motif: Geometric abstract composition in red and orange\ • Date: 1969\ • Signature: Hand-monogrammed “A.
