Marino Marini (1901-1980)

The Marino Marini Foundation has confirmed the authenticity of this work.

'Painting, for me, depends on colour, which takes me further and further away from real form. The emotion that colours awake in me, that is to say the contrast of one colour with another, or their relationship, stimulates my imagination much more than does the materialization of the human figure if I have to rely on pictorial means alone.’
(Marino Marini, 'Thoughts of Marino Marini’, pp. 5-11, G. di San Lazzaro, ed., Homage to Marino Marini, New York, 1974, p. 6.)
