Quote of Werner Haftmann, as cited by the Marini Marini Museum: http://www.museomarinomarini.it/section.php?page=fondazione
“
it belongs to the highest levels of modern art, when they [the early Etruscan sculptors, very inspiring for Marini] found their images and their forms from basic mythical experiences.. ..he [Marini] tried to imitate their gestures to explain what he meant, then he became one with his creatures, belonging at once to this particular progeny of remote origin.
