There's a wonderful back-story about Carla Accardi that you'll want to pursue; she's another one of those artists whose ideas and visuals keep showing up in successive generations of contemporary artists. In his review in OffOffOffArt, of her 2005 Show at Sperone Westwater, Jeffrey Cyphers Wright starts out by saying (quote) "Carla Accardi inhabits her own lexicon where Klee meets Haring, in a topography of hieroglyphs." - big clues to her oeuvre.
This image from studio-online; a 2008, vinyl on unprimed canvas, is akin to Matisse's "cut-outs" ( in relation to his earlier works). You'll see the similarities as you research her work.
