Pierre Ambrogiani, born on January 16, 1907 in Ajaccio, died in Allauch on September 23, 1985, was a French painter, engraver and sculptor.
Pierre Ambrogiani was born into a modest family who had settled in the old working-class district of Marseille. From 1920, he was first employed in Marseille-Colbert as a messenger, then he was a postman from 1928 to 1950 at the Post Office in Marseille.
In 1936, with the help of André Malraux and Louis Aragon, he participated in the creation of the first provincial cultural center with his friends, the Marseilles painters Antoine Serra, Louis Toncini, and François Diana.
A very popular and particularly colorful figure in Marseille, Pierre Ambrogiani was a friend of Marcel Pagnol and Jean Giono. His studio was located on Cours d'Estienne d'Orves, near the Old Port. He traveled the countryside in his car, which served as his mobile studio, painting en plein air. He moved into a studio on Quai Rive Neuve in Marseille in 1943.
Renowned for his vibrant color palette, he painted landscapes of the south of France and still lifes of fish. He also engraved numerous plates to illustrate books.
In 1962, he decorated the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Marseille with frescoes and stained glass windows. The mural in the baptistery is described as follows: “With a pure and unadorned style, engraved in cement and enhanced with very subdued colors, the painter evoked, in the background, man at work in the modern world, from the fields to the cities and factories. But, at the center of the fresco, bathed in baptismal water, his entire body reaching towards the light of the Spirit that gilds his face and his arms raised towards heaven, this 20th-century man is born to divine life and becomes a new man.”
He is responsible for a postage stamp, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, in 1961.
Forced by illness and infirmity to stop painting in 1973, Pierre Ambrogiani died in 1985 and was buried in the Saint-Pierre cemetery in Marseille. His body was later transferred to the cemetery in Sault, in the Vaucluse.
There are more than 1,500 paintings, seven sculptures, 1,200 drawings and watercolors and 300 prints sold at public auctions.
Seller's Story
TO KNOW :
A professional gallery for almost 20 years, we take particular care with the works which we ship quickly with suitable and secure packaging.
Buyers agree to pay for their purchases within 3 days maximum.
For any request to group lots, do so before payment, via Catawiki, or by email: info@artdif. Fr . We can generally group +/- 7 works per package from the same sale.
Certain lots or works in particular formats require suitable shipping.
We therefore group together where possible, but this is in no way an obligation, additional costs linked to customs declaration costs, insurance and adaptation of packaging may be requested.
The number of packages needed and shipping costs depend on feasibility.
We do not offer any additional services other than those provided in the description or by catawiki.
For works in multiples (numbered), unless otherwise noted, the numbering may differ from that shown in the photos.
When receiving your order, please check the packaging and the works in the presence of the carrier. In the event of a problem during transport, please report it to the carrier upon receipt and make the necessary reservations, otherwise no complaint will be accepted. A damaged package must be refused to claim compensation.
Remember that Catawiki is and must remain a platform for exchange between passionate and educated collectors, so courtesy, respect and politeness must remain rule number 1.
Also if you wish to contact us, we will answer you with pleasure, but please form sentences and use polite expressions, because a person is behind the keyboard, it is not yet a robot, and I hope that it will stay that way.
Thank you and happy bidding!
