“Fontana Mix (Dark Grey)” is an abstract artwork created by John Cage in 1981. It belongs to the Art Movements of Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dada.
The artwork presents a complex composition primarily characterized by abstract forms and lines. The background features a dark grey tone, serving as a canvas for spontaneous and flowing black lines and shapes. A prominent grid pattern occupies the lower portion of the artwork, intersecting with an angular line that cuts diagonally across the piece. Above the grid, undulating, freeform lines traverse the space, hinting at a rhythmic and unstructured nature that is emblematic of both Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dadaism. The overall composition evokes a sense of controlled chaos, a common theme in the abstract genre.
