Marino Marini
Marino Marini was born in 1901 in Pistoia (Toscane, Italy). Very young he followed studies to the Academy of the Fine Art of Florence. In the late 20's, he created his first significant works. From 1936, Marini began his inexhaustible series of the "Riders". He never stopped building the main part of his work around this serie. During the second world war, he settled down in Switzerland, where he met Giacometti, before coming back to Milan in 1946. In 1952, he goot the first price of sculpture of the Biennal of Venice. From his adolescence, Marino Marini created etchings, then lithographs from 1942; he resumed there his preference subjects. Marino Marini liked working in his atelier, a discreet man who never agreed either on his own advertisement or on the promotion of his work, only worried about achieving his rigorous searches. Today, he is recognized and celebrated all over the world. Marino Marini died in Viareggio in 1980. |
