BIOGRAPHY:
Pierre Ambrogiani was born in Ajaccio, and his family resettled in Marseille. His youth was that of the children of his new hometown. He developed his artistic expression at a young age and was attracted to drawing and modeling. As a child, he built small figurines of clay covered from the nearby ground. He painted his figurines as characters from his neighborhood, such as a lamplighter.At the age of 12, he became a "little telegraphist", a kind of letter carrier. The following year he exhibited his figures in a crib at an annual meeting of mail carriers. In 1923, his colorful figurines attracted the attention of painter Auzias. He invited him to share an exhibit space at the goldsmith Langlois.Little by little, the young artist found himself the forerunner of a Provencal painting style known as "action painting", including found objects in the paint. In 1937, he decided to consecrate himself entirely to painting. He was a regular participant in the Salon d'Automne, of which he became a member.From 1948 to 1980, he was part of numerous collective exhibitions of contemporary art in France and abroad in Paris, Marseille, Toulouse, New York, London, Oxford, Philadelphia, Turin, and Zurich. Over the years, Pierre Ambrogiani has become renowned in France. He is a personality of international stature, carrying high the South of France's colors. His works reveal a modern Provence, where forms dissolve into color. Stripping form and drawing, the artist gets closer to an abstraction, willingly figurative.
