Marino Marini

Marino Marini (1901- 1980) was a twentieth-century sculptor. Marini is particularly famous for his series of abstract equestrian statues, which feature a man with outstretched arms and erect penis on top of a horse. Probably the most famous example is "The Angel of the City" at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice.
