Arnaldo Pomodoro
Lancia di luce, II, 1985
polished bronze and patinated bronze, h 700 cm, section 120 × 120 × 120 cm
Lancia di luce is a work designed in reference to foundry work, with the light and absolute idea of a monumental element with a triangular section, like an obelisk pointing upwards, a modern signal from the away or from the sky, with its strong call of light. In the sculpture we can read, so to speak, the industrial history from the treatment of iron with its debris to the melting of steel and operations on incandescent material: a metaphor of human invention and the development of every research.
