An expressionist painter in bright colors of portraits, landscapes and
still life, Pierre Ambrogiani was most noted for landscape and harbor
scenes, in oranges and reds, especially of the countryside along the
Mediterranean Sea. Ambrogiani also did engravings.
He was self taught but by age 30 had his first exhibition, which was in
Marseilles, France. In 1946, he had an exhibition of his work in
Paris, and the following year in New York City. A retrospective
of his work was held in Marseilles in 1973, and shortly after that he
was disabled by disease.
He died in 1985, age 81.
