Artists in conversation
Eduardo Chillida
Spanish · b. 1924
Chillida worked extensively in bronze and steel to create abstract sculptures that explore fragmented geometric forms and spatial tension, directly paralleling Pomodoro's investigation of broken surfaces revealing interior structures in Frammento.
Henry Moore
British · b. 1898
Moore's cast bronze sculptures share Pomodoro's modernist abstraction and fascination with the interplay between exterior surface and revealed inner geometry, employing expressive casting techniques to create works of similar formal and material depth.
Lynn Chadwick
British · b. 1914
Chadwick produced bronze sculptures defined by angular geometric fragmentation and modernist abstraction, sharing with Frammento a raw textural quality in casting and a structural tension between solid mass and implied interior complexity.
