Hand signed in pencil on the lower right margin. Edition of 55 prints. Good condition except for some small rips on left margin, and a little yellowed sheet. Interesting artwork representing an abstract composition, a horse figure in the middle with black and grey background. It's a typical abstract composition of 1960's Marini artworks. 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 is best known for his figurative equestrian sculptures. He won prizes at the International Exposition of Paris in 1937 and at the Venice Biennial in 1952. Marini died on August 6, 1980, in Viareggio, Italy, and the Marino Marini Museum dedicated to his oeuvre opened in Florence in 1988. Throughout his life, he would return to the theme of a horse and rider with his arms stretched out to either side, as exemplified in his seminal work The Angel of the City (1948). He is also noted for his expressive busts featuring forlorn and abstracted faces, as well as paintings depicting his recurring horse-riding figure.
