Mario Gachet (15 August 1879 – 18 February 1981) was an Italian painter, mainly depicting landscapes in his native Piedmont.
Gachet was born in Piazza Statuto in Turin to a family originally from Saint-Étienne in central France.
By 1923, an article in “Il Piemonte” described his submissions to the 25th Mostra degli Amici dell’Arte as melancholic paintings...they lament the abandoned desolation of things.
He is a landscape artist of rare efficacy, a spiritual one: in which nature draws a mysterious assent and a creative urge of poetry[1] The journalist Vera Manuelle said of his work: here are all the riches of nature that speak of the soul, but which the soul has not enough time to listen.
[2] In 1949, he left his father's home on Via Tripoli to move to a small rural house in Castiglione Torinese.
