Marino Marini

"As in his more famous horse-and-rider series, in the "Jugglers" Marini is concerned with the tension between static and dynamic forms. His distorted and exaggerated forms are unconnected with other movements except in their sense of fantasy." 19th & 20th century art from collections of alumni & friends : inaugural exhibition, September 11 - November 8, 1970, Elvehjem Art Center (1970), p. 88.
