Description:
Martini was a leading Italian sculptor and ceramist between World War I and II. He moved between a very vigorous (almost ancient Roman) classicism and modernism. He was associated with public sculpture in fascist Italy, but later renounced his medium altogether in the book La scultura lingua morta (1945), feeling that the war had corrupted his art.
