'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Marino Marini Author: Em Langui Publisher: Universe Books Inc. Date: 1959 Condition: The first edition, complete with the original unclipped printed dust wrapper over plain card boards. The wrapper has light handling marks and some chips and nibbles to the edges. Internally this is a very clean and tidy copy. Illustrated in black and white throughout
This small book on Marini was part of an excellent series produced by Universe Books which covered several modern sculptors, including Moore, Zadkine, Lipchitz and Hepworth. The format was straightforward - good photography and intelligent text by interesting writers. This volume offers plenty of atmospheric black and white photography which really emphasises the strength and form in Marini's work.
