Starting in the mid-1950s, Carla Accardi developed a singular vocabulary of pseudo-calligraphic marks, first  seen in her Integrazione series. While at first these works pared down color to black, and white, Accardi soon introduced the new technology of fluoroscent color, forming  a concise investigation of the relationship between figure and ground.
