Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Marino Marini (February 27, 1901 — August 6, 1980) was an Italian sculptor.
Born in Pistoia, Marini is particularly famous for his series of
stylised equestrian statues, which feature a man with outstretched arms
on a horse. Probably the most famous example is The Angel of the City at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice.
He attended the Accademia Di Belle Arti in Florence in 1917.
Although he never abandoned painting, Marini devoted himself primari (showing 500 of 8694 characters). |
