Gino Parin:
A Complicated Life in Complicated Times
This virtual exhibit is based on a 2023 show created by the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University (NAU).
Gino Parin was an artist who lived and worked in Trieste, Italy for much of his life. As a Jewish-born Catholic convert with dual Swiss and Italian citizenship, Gino perished in a Nazi concentration camp in 1944.
The paintings and drawings featured in this exhibit are from the collection of Necki Springer, a family friend of Parin’s who immigrated to the United States and eventually settled in Cottonwood, Arizona.
