The artwork titled “Marino from Shakespeare I/IV,” created by the artist Marino Marini in 1977, belongs to the Expressionism art movement. It is classified as a literary painting. The artwork employs vibrant and contrasting colors to convey deep emotional expressions, characteristic of the Expressionist style.
In the artwork, abstract human figures are depicted in a composition with a visually striking color palette dominated by blues, greens, and reds. The figures appear to be intertwined with ambiguous forms, adding an element of mystique and intensity. The use of bold brushstrokes and the merging of shapes create a dynamic fluidity, evoking a sense of movement and emotion. The overall composition and use of color suggest an atmosphere that is both intimate and theatrical, perhaps an allusion to the dramatic and expressive nature of Shakespearean literature.
