Catalogue Note

After attending the Accademia di Brera in his native Milan, Pina moved to Paris around 1906 and first exhibited at the Salon in 1912. The young Italian scultpor worked in Auguste Rodin's atelier from 1909-10 and his master's impact is evident in Pina's his powerful style of modelling.  RELATED LITERATURE
