Arnaldo Pomodoro
Senza titolo, 1957
watercolor and ink, 48 × 65,5 cm
“When I started drawing – says Arnaldo Pomodoro – I realized that I wasn't able to draw in an academic way, because something had already happened to me. I had begun to think in a very abstract way on my own. So when I discovered this little book by Paul Klee I felt comforted, and I began to draw like Klee, imitating real ideas and real images. Among other things, this was how I discovered the technique of negative shapes, which I later used in the castings of my small bas-reliefs. It is at this point that I began to feel an interest in sculpture, but I was completely unaware of it, I didn't know how to do it; and so I continued to draw and draw. I discovered myself by drawing."
