Considered one of the highest paid book illustrators of his time, he created over 3,000 book covers, movie posters and magazine illustrations.Pino was deeply influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and Macchiaioli, and after experimenting with Expressionism, he returned to his Impressionist roots. He found inspiration in the works of such artists as Sargeant, Sorolla, and Boldini.
