“Un’instancabile attività realizzata lungo un’intera vita, un’attività intensa e dinamica, in studio o in fonderia, alacre, produttiva: ecco il solo modo di descrivere l’opera di Arnaldo scultore, disegnatore, grafico. E vi è anche, in tale lavoro, una motivazione psicologica, la partecipazione in prima persona alla storia del suo tempo, l’immedesimarsi dell’artista nell’idea della libertà democratica e nell’impegno civile” (Giovanni Carandente, Arnaldo Pomodoro. Catalogo ragionato della scultura, Skira, Milano 2007)

Untiring activity throughout his life, intense and dynamic activity in the studio or the foundry, keen, productive activity: that is the only way to describe the work of Arnaldo the sculptor, draftsman, graphic artist. And there is also a psychological motivation in this work, direct participation in the history of his time, the artist’s identification with the idea of democratic liberty and civil commitment.
