ABOUT
Italian bronze sculpture during the 20th century underwent a dynamic evolution, blending traditional craftsmanship with modernist influences. In the early 1900s, artists like Arturo Martini embraced classicism, creating elegant figurative works. The interwar period saw a shift towards abstraction, with Giacomo Manzù and Marino Marini exploring expressive forms. Post-World War II, sculptors like Giacomo Pomodoro pushed boundaries, experimenting with geometric shapes and innovative techniques. Notable for its emphasis on form and emotion, Italian bronze sculpture of the 20th century reflects the country's artistic versatility, capturing the spirit of different movements and contributing to the global dialogue on the evolution of modern art.
