Marino Marini
(1901-1980)
The Italian sculptor, painter and graphic artist Marino
Marini enrolled at the 'Accademia di Belli Arti' in Florence in 1917. While he was still an art
student, mediterranean antiquity, international Gothic style and medieval rennaissance
had a formative influence on him. From 1928 the artist made several lengthy
visits to Paris.
In 1929 Arturo Martini appointed him to the "Villa Reale" art school
in Monza near Milan, where Marino Marini taught sculpture
for 11 years. The very same year, the artist presented his first major
terracotta sculpture "Popolo".
A large solo exhibition in Milan in 1932, his participation at the Venice
Biennale, the Milan Triennale and the Quadriennale in Rome, where he received
the first prize for sculpture in 1935, where early milestones in Marini's road
to public acclaim. In his figurative sculptures, Marini strove for archaising
simplicity of form which tended to be abstract. In 1941 Marino Marini was
appointed to the chair of sculpture at the "Accademia di Brera" in Milan. Two years later,
he made the acquaintance of some important representatives of contemporary
sculpture in Ticino.
Alberto Giacometti, Fritz Wotruba and Germaine Richier encouraged him in his
artistic ambitions and inspired his work. Returning from Switzerland, Marino Marini settled in Milan in 1947, where he
resumed his teaching career at the Accademia. "Angelo della Città",
one of Marini's major works, soon followed. The American art dealer Curt
Valentin gave Marini the opportunity to show his work in a large solo
exhibition in New York
and a series of other exhibitions, which brought him international acclaim.
In 1952 Marino Marini received the prestigious first prize for sculpture at the
Venice Biennale, two years later, the grand prize of the "Accademia dei
Lincei" in Rome
followed.
These awards lead to many exhibitions in various European cities and two large
retrospectives at the Zurich
"Kunsthaus" in 1962 and the "Palazzo Venezia" in Rome in 1966.
In 1968 the artist was honored with yet another distinction: He became a member
of the "Order Pour le mérite" for services to science and art. In
1973 a Marini Museum
was inaugurated in Florence, while the artist
was dedicated the "Centro di Documentatione dell'Opera di Marino
Marini" in the Pistoia
town hall, which documented the artist's life and work.
Marino Marini died on August 6, 1980 in Viareggio.
