Mario Reviglione was a painter, and printmaker, close to Symbolism, a forerunner of the Art Deco style, akin to the movement of Magic Realism, and proudly countering the dominant style of the early 20th century. His two favorite subjects were landscape and portrait. In painting nature he drew more heavily on Belgian and French Symbolist tendencies, evident in his views of lakes at the evocative hours of dawn and dusk, while in his portraits he stands out for his utter originality.
