Description:
|
|
The series of female nudes were inspired by Pomona, the Etruscan goddess of fertility, who became, for Marino, the symbol of a rural, harmonious and peaceful world, in other words, Mother Nature. During World War II he was in Locarno, Switzerland, where he befriended Giacometti, Fritz Wotruba and Hermann Haller. During this time he sculpted sensual, enigmatic female nudes, sometimes lacking head or arms in order to stress their resemblance to fragments of antique (Etruscan) sculpture. These included the Pomona series. In 1946 he returned to Milan. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
