Catalogo ragionato dell'Opera grafica (Incisioni e Litografie) 1919-1980, Edizioni Graphis Arte, Livorno, 1990: "Marino's etchings are now in various stages, but in the process towards the accentuation of the tragic inspiration, they gradually become more and more bare, more schematic and mute until the horizontal arrangement of the image. Marino knew how to combine the awareness of tragedy, of the looming threat, with the incoercible aspiration to happiness that lives in every man." A147 p. 216; p. 256. p. 16'
