Biography
Angelo Garino was born in Turin on August 27, 1860. Brother of painter Carlo, he abandoned his technical studies in 1875 to join the Doyen lithographic factory.
He later enrolled at the Accademia Albertina, under Pier Celestino Gilardi, but was forced by financial straits to abandon his academic studies.
He devoted himself to genre painting, liking subjects characterized by careful observation of nature.
In 1879 he presented Prime impressions at the Società Promotrice di Belle Arti in Turin, where he would be a constant presence until 1893.
He exhibited in Milan, Venice and other cities.
In the late 1800s he settled in Nice, where his works soon enjoyed notoriety and a market on the French Riviera for his demonstrated sensitivity to the Art Nouveau and floral stimuli of the early 20th century.
He died in Nice on November 27, 1945.
