“...Perhaps this is due to the discretion and humility that led Pozzo, after his Futurist adventure, which he did not experienced in a "heroic" sense but rather as the need to search for a new means of expression, to shut himself up and work somewhat secretly. In this way, for almost half a century, he reduced the dimension of his work to small sheets of paper on which he wove the story present in his imagination. These were tiny but important designs that now demonstrate that this artist was not caught up in his Futurist experiences, but rather went beyond them, stretching to informal compositions, arabesques that recall Spazzapan because of their impetuous and elegant flow, even to the last compositions that are a mix of surrealism and whimsy and can be referred to as a new type of representation. All the while, the majority of Italian artists continued to lull in impressionism.”
