PINO
Italian
American
(1939-2010)
Pino
was born in Bari on November 8, 1939, he began his studies at the city's Art
Institute. In 1960 he entered Milan's Academy of Brera where he perfected his
talent and skill for painting nudes. In the two years he studied at the
Academy, he came under the influence of the Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli.
Pino also experimented with Expressionism of the late sixties during his stay
in Milan. From 1960 to 1979 his work appeared in several major exhibitions
throughout Italy and Europe. At the same time, he was commissioned by Italy's
two largest publishers. Mondadori and Rizzoli, for book illustrations. However,
Pino felt restricted in Milan. He wanted more artistic freedom which he
believed existed in the United States.In 1979, he emigrated to the United
States under the sponsorship of Borghi Gallery where he held several shows in
New York and Massachusetts. In 1980, after knocking on many doors, Zebra Books
Publishers commissioned him to do his first book cover. His interpretation was
new, fresh and sensual, an illustration so successful that he gained entry into
creative relationships with many leading publishers of Romance novels. His
popularity grew within the literary community and he became the
artist-in-demand for Zebra, Bantam, Simon, and Schuster, Harlequin, Penquin USA
and Dell. To date, Pino has illustrated 3,000 books; his style has dominated
and influenced the market. Although Pino devoted thirteen years to
illustrating book covers, he never abandoned his desire to return to fine art.
In the United States be became fascinated with the works of Soralla, Sargent,
Benson and William Merrit Chase. In 1992 he contacted one of the major
galleries in Scottsdale, Arizona, the May Gallery, and sent five paintings which
were well received. Since then his paintings have appeared in Morris and
Whiteside Gallery in Hilton Head and Stuart Johnson's Settlers West Gallery in
Tucson. Pino has been invited to make several appearances on major TV networks
and has been interviewed in national and international journals. In addition,
his ability to capture the movements and expressions of his subjects had
brought him private commissions to do portraits. Pino lived in New Jersey with
his wife, a son and a daughter.
