About the Publication:
Gualtieri di San Lazzaro's XXe Siecle (Twentieth Century) was one of the most influential art journals of the modern era, founded in Paris in 1938 as a platform for the greatest painters, sculptors, and writers of the 20th century. San Lazzaro, a visionary editor, critic, and champion of modernism, believed that art and literature should coexist as expressions of a shared human imagination. Under his direction, XXe Siecle became a cultural bridge between Europe and the wider world, publishing special issues devoted to leading figures such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Calder, Miro, Kandinsky, and Leger. Each edition combined essays by renowned critics and poets with original lithographs printed by the foremost ateliers of Paris, London, and New York, including Mourlot, Curwen, and Universal Graphics, creating a uniquely rich dialogue between text and image. Through XXe Siecle, San Lazzaro preserved the creative spirit of the avant-garde during and after World War II, championing freedom of expression and the evolution of abstraction, surrealism, and modern thought. Over nearly four decades, the journal shaped international taste and defined the intellectual landscape of postwar art publishing. Today, XXe Siecle remains celebrated for its extraordinary synthesis of art, literature, and design, an enduring testament to Gualtieri di San Lazzaro's belief that the visual arts are the soul of the modern age.
About the Artist:
Marino Marini (1901–1980) was an Italian sculptor, painter, and printmaker whose emotionally charged equestrian figures and exploration of the human condition established him as one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. Born in Pistoia, Italy, and trained at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Marini combined the timeless strength of classical and Etruscan sculpture with the expressive freedom of modernism to create a profoundly human art that bridged antiquity and abstraction. Deeply connected to the avant-garde circles of his time, he moved within the same creative orbit as Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists who, like him, redefined form, emotion, and perception for the modern era. From Picasso and Giacometti, Marini absorbed the emotional and structural reinvention of the human form; from Calder and Miro, he embraced movement and rhythm; and from Dali, Duchamp, and Kandinsky, he took the freedom to infuse sculpture with psychological and spiritual intensity. His recurring motif of the horse and rider—seen in masterpieces such as Cavaliere, Pomona, and Miracolo—became a powerful metaphor for mankind’s eternal struggle between control and chaos, intellect and instinct, and the fragile balance between civilization and nature. In his early works, the rider appears calm and idealized, but as the world descended into the violence of the 20th century, Marini’s compositions grew increasingly expressive and fragmented, transforming into haunting symbols of fear, despair, and survival. His bronzes, with their rough textures and monumental simplicity, evoke both the endurance of ancient idols and the existential urgency of modern life. A leading figure of postwar European sculpture, Marini won the Grand Prize for Sculpture at the 1952 Venice Biennale and exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the Tate Modern (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection (Venice). His tactile, timeless forms influenced a new generation of sculptors such as Henry Moore, Lynn Chadwick, Elisabeth Frink, and Fernando Botero, who shared his fascination with the expressive tension between man and beast, mass and motion, serenity and chaos. Marini’s art embodies both the dignity and vulnerability of humanity, achieving what few sculptors have since antiquity—a universal language of form and feeling that transcends time, culture, and ideology. Standing alongside Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray, Marino Marini remains one of the defining sculptural visionaries of modern art. His highest auction record was achieved by Cavaliere (1951), which sold for $10.6 million USD at Sotheby’s, New York, on November 4, 2014, reaffirming his legacy as one of the most spiritually resonant, emotionally profound, and collectible sculptors of the modern era.

Marino Marini
Marino Marini was born in Italy in 1901. Retrospectives of Marini's work took place at the Kunsthaus Zürich in 1962 and at the Palazzo Venezia in Rome in 1966. His paintings were exhibited for the first time at Toninelli Arte Moderna in Milan in 1963–64. In 1973, a permanent installation of his work opened at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan, and in 1978 a Marini show was presented at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. Marini died in Viareggio. There is a museum dedicated to his work in Florence (in the former church of San Pancrazio); his work may also be found in museums in Italy and around the world, such as the Civica Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Marini's work is authenticated by the experts at the Marino Marini Foundation in Pistoia, Italy.

Bram (Abraham Gerardus) van Velde was a Dutch painter known for an intensely colored and geometric semi-representational painting style related to Tachisme*, and Lyrical Abstraction*. He is often seen as member of the School of Paris* but his work resides somewhere between expressionism* and surrealism*, and evolved in the 1960s into an expressive abstract art. His paintings from the 1950s are similar to the contemporary work of Matisse, Picasso and the abstract expressionist Adolph Gottlieb. He was championed by a number of French-speaking writers, including Samuel Beckett and the poet André du...
