Lucia Di Luciano, an Italian painter associated with the Arte Programmata movement of the 1960s who only recently gained wider recognition, died this past weekend. Her death was announced by her Milan gallery, 10 A.M. Art, which did not specify a cause. Many Italian publications reported that she was 93 years old.

Di Luciano is known mainly for her abstractions of the 1960s, which are often composed of gridded black and white patterns. She made them entirely by hand, but she worked with such precision that they appear today as though they were made using computers, which were not yet widely available to the public during the 1960s. Only when standing up close to these works does one notice the areas where Di Luciano’s paint diverges ever so slightly from her predetermined compositions.
