“Marino from Shakespeare II/I” is a 1978 expressionist literary painting by the renowned artist Marino Marini. The artwork belongs to the Expressionism art movement and captures dramatic and emotional themes likely inspired by literary sources, possibly the works of Shakespeare.
The artwork presents a surreal and abstract vision using bold and contrasting colors. Dominated by shades of green, blue, and black, it depicts three elongated and stylized figures standing against a vividly colored background. The central figure, highlighted in white and yellow, appears to be flanked by two darker silhouettes, creating a striking visual tension. The use of color and form emphasizes emotional intensity and expressiveness, typical of the Expressionist movement. The figures are framed within an oval shape, adding a focused, almost theatrical, element to the composition.
