Emilio Ambron

(Rome 1905 - Florence 1996)

Just as Picasso returned to figure painting and Classicism in the aftermath of the war, Ambron produced a world of figures that come alive with the magical solidity of volume and the intensity of an atmosphere created within a timeless space, beyond the influences of the constantly modifyng and challenging artistic trends of the 20th century. This inquisitive man, an incessant traveller all over the continents Europe, Africa and Asia, each of which marks a stage of his life, seems instinctively to have sought safety in the power of art over the mutable fragility of nature, transfiguring and as if freezing images so synthetically defined as to make even the most mundane aspects important.

From August, 27 to September 21, 2008, we have organized a show about Emilio Ambron, more info at:
