Biography

Italian sculptor Marino Mazzacurati was a painter and sculptor who practiced in cubism, expressionism and realism. In 1926, he was the co-founder of the magazine “Front” and illustrated the famous ”Canti Orfici” (Orphic Songs) of the poet Dino Campana. He studied at the Academy of Arts in Roma and in Paris with Auguste Rodin, and belonged to the modern movement of the Roman School. His “Lottatori” (Wrestlers), which he submitted to the Olympic art competitions, marked the start of a new phase of his sculptural work of a crude realism in 1940. He created memorials to the heroes of the resistance in Parma, Naples, and other Italian cities.
