Marino Marini, Horse (1952)

bronze, h. 46 cm
Milan, Private collection

The studies of Marino Marini, which in some ways inspired Ugo Guidi, have some common details with the studies of the artist from Forte dei Marmi. Many critics have compared the two sculptors (moreover, they are both from Tuscany). In Marino Marini there is the same "primitiveness" of Guidi, the same scomposition in elementary shapes, the same will of eliminating all the inutile details. This Horse is not an exception: agile and nimble, it has no inutile particular, its neck is very long (agility), its legs are thin and elegant and its body reminds a pure shape.
