About the Item

"Marino Marini is one of the most interesting figures in the Italian cultural and artistic landscape of this century. From the 1930s to the ’40s, Marino was researching the development and elaboration of a “pure” form, through the modernization and re-elaboration of the Etruscan and medieval tradition. His sister, a poetess, writes to him: “Marino is born mediterranean in the tyrrhenian basin, the land of an ancient vein in which he buries his physical and moral roots, and where they insist on love for the fields, the serene shadow of Giotto, human scapegoat of Masaccio and that of the agitated completely modern Pisano”. The theme of the knight that he constructs in these years will be a constant in his work, almost a symbolic signal of his personal vision of the world. As Marino himself liked to say, “there is the whole history of humanity and the human framework in the figure of the knight and the horse; in every age of it. At first there is a harmony between them, but in the end, especially after the last war, the age of the machine violently fractures this symbiosis in a dramatic way, yet renders it no less alive and vitalizing” (From the Museo Marino Marini). 1970 Etching and drypoint on cardboard 39,5 x 35,1 cm; sheet: 70 x 50 cm Signed and numbered in pencil X/XX (+ 60 arabic numbers) From the album Marino Marini Opera Grafica, by editor and printer Luigi De Tullio, 1972 Literature: Giorgio e Guido Guastalla, Marino Marini.
