Marino Marini Marino Marini is an Italian artist who is known for his figurative equestrian sculptures. Throughout his life, he was interested in the theme of the horse and rider, whose arms are placed on either side of the animal, as in the work The Angel of the City (1948). He is also noted for his expressive busts with sad, abstract faces, as well as his paintings that recall horseback riding. Born on February 27, 1901 in Pistoia, Italy, he studied painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, then turned to sculpture right after graduation. In 1936, he received the Prize of the Quadriennale in Rome and his work was included in the Italian art exhibition at MoMA in New York . A solo exhibition was held at the Curt Valentin Gallery in 1950, where he became friends with Alexander Calder and Jean Arp. Marini died on August 6, 1980 in Viareggio, Italy, and the Marino Marini Museum opened in Florence in 1988.
