Marino Marini (1901-1980) was an Italian sculptor. He lived in Paris and Athens. Accustomed to the classical artistic tradition, he then detached from it and drew inspiration from Egyptian and Etruscan art. His research essentially explores the internal structure of form and the organization of space in plastic forms. He won prizes at the International Exposition of Paris in 1937 and at the Venice Biennial in 1952.
