Piero Ruggeri

.
.
















Both top images are from galeriebeukers.nl, and although they have 10 images that enlarge, there's absolutely no text or imformation.

Artantide.com has the briefest of biographies and 2 wonderful images; 1 from 1972 and the other from 2003.

Piero seems to have stayed pretty true to his oeuvre through the years. Using a combination of abstractions and abstracted calligraphical gestures, even his monochromes retain the same flavor, the same gusto and bravado. In some paintings he generously slathers the paint on and then continues to mark it and make it thoroughly his own. eartegalllery.com has two great, early images from 1930 that you'll want to check out and you'll see what I mean about staying true.

If you'd like to see more of his monochromes, go to Galerieprotee where they have six images, all from 2005 and 2006. There's a whole pile of wild abstracts by other artists on this site. You'll need to scroll down almost to the bottom to see the 6 images .
