Artist

Marino Marini, born in Pistoia in 1901, from 1917 he went to the fine arts academy in Florence where he studied painting and etching, and from 1922 he followed Domenico Trentacoste’s sculpture course. From a very early age he was interested in the avant-gardes, as well as in the expressive possibilities of ancient, archaic, Etruscan and medieval sculpture; the latter was at the heart of his figurative culture, formed by looking at the Romanesque and Gothic monuments in Pistoia. His preference for archaic forms was in fact to be seen in his paintings from the 1920s and 1930s. In 1926 he settled in Florence and joined the Novecento group, together with which he exhibited in 1928 and 1929.
