Arnaldo Pomodoro

""Tavola dei Segni" ("table of signs") reminds us of the insides of an additing machine, exposing to us its complex mechanism. Pomodoro usually uses bronze for his rectangular relief forms, which he first models in plaster. Arnason has called these amazingly detailed plates "explicit computer iconography."" 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends : inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970), p. 122.
