  Marino Marini Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Marino Marini was born in Pistoia, Tuscany, on February 27, 1901.
Marini became a professor at Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan in 1940, a career move which afforded him the time to travel widely, meet some of the most important artists of the era, such as Pablo Picasso, and further his quest for artistic meaning.
Marini was awarded the Feltrinelli prize in 1952, and in 1957 he received a commission for more equestrian sculpture from The Hague city council (a copy of which remains on display at San Pancrazio).

 Marino Marini on artnet
Marini was strongly influenced by the suffering he witnessed in Italy during the war.
Marini's work has an elemental simplicity and has almost been limited, apart from his few portrait heads, to three themes: the female figure, the rider and horse and dancers and jugglers.
Marini gained international renown in the 1950s with three major exhibitions of his work in Amsterdam, Brussels, and New York where his "Great Horse" is displayed in the Rockefeller Collection.

 Composizione 1955 by Marino Marini, 1901-1980
The medium is used not merely in a manner which echoes his wash or pencil drawings but in such a way that its own visual and artistic properties are exploited to create an imagery, and a style of image-making, which could not be achieved in any other way.
Marini was always fascinated by ancient wall-painting and by wall reliefs; by creating a panel of fl surrounded by washed grey he evokes the effect of relief block., and into this block the white scraper line marks a form which has a quality of sparkling sharp incision.
The central theme of Marini's art in the post-war years was his desire to portray the interaction of static and dynamic forces and the conflict or harmony between nature and man. In following this theme he often returned to his favourite motif of the 'horse and rider'.

Marino Marini was born in Seggiano, Provincia di Grosseto, on 11 May 1924 in a family dedicated to music.
By all accounts, Marino Marini was the first musician with a good background in manipulation of sound and he used this skill masterfully to boost the standing of his group on stage.
Marino Marini repertoire was based in 80 percent on Italian songs: to many of them he wrote music, and sometimes also text.

 Marino Marini
Born in 1924 (four years after Renato Carosone, and four years before Domenico Modugno) in a family of musicians, Marino Marini graduated from the Conservatorio di Bologna and made a difficult living by teaching music, until called by the army.
Marino Marini brought a breath of fresh air to the traditional Neapolitan repertoire, by injecting his own quicker tempo and clearing too many out-of-date "tics".
He pioneered the echo chamber and multisound effects on stage — many of his interpretations were just as good in the concert hall as in the studio, and this in a period where electronics as we know them today were still in infancy.

 Guggenheim Collection - Artist - Marini - The Angel of the City
Marino Marini drew on the tradition of Etruscan and Northern European sculpture in developing his themes of the female nude, the portrait bust, and the equestrian figure.
By interpreting classical themes in light of modern concerns and with modern techniques, he sought to contribute a mythic image that would be applicable in a contemporary context.
Eventually he was to topple from the horse as it fell to the ground in an apocalyptic image of lost control, paralleling Marini’s feelings of despair and uncertainty about the future of the world.

 Marino Marini Museum, Florence
The first museum in Florence to show modern art, this museum was installed in 1988 in the redundant church of San Pancrazio for the work of the Tuscan artist and sculptor Marino Marini (1901-1980).
The museum holds 176 of Marini's graphics, drawings, paintings and sculptures, many of them bequeathed to the city of Florence before his death.
Whereas the early works show the horse mostly at ease with mankind, after the 1940s it is bucking and rearing in an effort to dislodge its rider.

Born in Pistoia, Marini received his formal training in painting and sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence; he executed his first mature works in the late 1920s.
During these years Marini created his first important sculptures, works that were deeply influenced by the recent excavations of Etruscan sites in central and southern Italy.
After World War II, the equestrian became for Marini a symbol of "the twilight of mankind," and he increasingly depicted the rider as an ecstatic yet tragic figure, while the horse came to represent the unrestrained forces of nature.

Unlike most equestrian statues, which exalt a triumphal figure, the horse-and-rider pieces of Italian sculptor Marino Marini (1901-1980) seek to commemorate "something tragic, a kind of Twilight of Man," in the artist's words.
Equally affecting are the grisly human figures inspired by fossilized corpses unearthed at Pompeii, victims of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. As Hunter, a Princeton art historian, explains in his thoughtful essay, Marini uses Archaic Greek, Etruscan and Roman motifs to confront the dislocations of the modern world.
Also on display in Finn's photographs are Marini's androgynous archangels, eloquent dancers, melancholy jugglers and acrobats, and his probing portrait heads of Igor Stravinsky, Oscar Kokoschka and Mies van der Rohe.

Marino Marini is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding figures on the scene of European sculpture in our century.
His artistic approach, that uses just a few themes to express the entire world of his connections and considerations about man and life, has a density of meaning and an evocative capacity that make his work extremely modern.
Over a hundred and twenty sculptures, paintings and drawings document the span of Marini's thought and artistic evolution from his beginnings to his full maturity, through some of his greatest masterpieces.

Marini made his début as a sculptor in 1928, when he exhibited at La mostra del Novecento toscano at the Galleria Milano in Milan.
His sculptures of this period were free of any ornament or descriptive detail: they referred to history and occasionally to the fascinating symbolism of Roman and Etruscan statuary, or the Etruscan-inspired sculpture of Arturo Martini or the traditions of the Tuscan Quattrocento.
