Marino Marini was born in Pistoia in 1901. From 1917 he completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. From 1929 to 1940 he received a teaching position for sculpture at the Villa Reale in Monza. With a large solo exhibition in Milan in 1932, participation in the Biennale di Venezia, the Triennale di Milan and the Quadriennale di Roma, Marini’s success began in public. Due to the effects of the war, Marini fled to Ticino in 1943. There he met Alberto Giacometti, Fritz Wotruba and Germaine Richier. In 1947 he returned to Milan. In 1952 Marini received the first prize for sculpture at the Biennale di Venezia, followed two years later by the Grand Prize of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in Rome. Retrospectives took place in 1962 in the Kunsthaus Zürich and in 1966 in the Palazzo Venezia in Rome. In 1973 the Museo Marino Marini was opened in Florence and the Centro di Documentazione dell’operea di Marino Marini opened in the town hall of Pistoia. Marino Marini is best known for his sculptures. The main theme of his artistic work is the horse and its rider. The artist attributed this inspiration to the fact that his studio, in Monza in the 1930s, was next to a horse stable. In addition to the sculptures, Marini also dealt with the graphics.
In 1980 Marino Marini died in Viareggio. 1975 – first exhibition in the gallery Welz.
