Out-In
Giò Pomodoro
Italian, 1930–2002
1965
A bold abstract lithograph in which Pomodoro translates his sculptural interest in interior and exterior into flat black forms that probe the boundary between inside and outside.
You first notice sweeping, torn-edged black shapes that seem to float and interlock against the white field, producing a piercing sense of movement and positive/negative tension.
By rendering volumetric, sculptural concerns as stark two‑dimensional shapes, this work links Pomodoro’s practice to mid‑century experiments in abstraction and expanded printmaking techniques that emphasized surface and space.
