• The depiction of horses and riders is the most famous motif in Marini's work.
• Composition of masterful clarity through the juxtaposition of brightly colored surfaces and black figures.
• Marini's equestrian paintings are in the tradition of ancient equestrian statues and are at the same time expressive symbols of the fragile balance of our human existence.
• Marino Marini: “As for me, I no longer intend to celebrate the victory of a hero. I want to express something tragic, a kind of twilight of humanity, more a defeat than a victory.”
• Marini's works are in numerous important international collections, including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Milan, the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Venice, and the Tate Modern, London.
