Vincent Pepi studied at the High School of Music and Art, Cooper Union and Pratt Institute. These studies combined with his travels to Africa and Mexico, covinced him of the over- whelming importance of Europe for the development of American art. In 1949 Pepi went directly to the source-Rome- at the same time that the Abstract Expressioniat movement began at home. Three years later, in 1951, Pepi joined with many of the innovators of Action Painting in New York City. Pepi is now reproducing work from this time (late 40's early 50's) in limited edition prints. This offer is of particular value to art students/scholars and university art galleries
Upon his return to the United States, the artist studied briefly with Hans Hofmann, painting works parallel with Pollock, DeKooning, Kline, Marcarelli and others. Like so many others, he felt Surrealism's impact, adapting automatic techniques and transforming them into his own kind of gesture painting. Along with other first generation Abstract Expressionists, he showed his work at the Stable Gallery in 1953 and at the March Gallery on Tenth Street, from 1955 till its closing in 1960. Pepi separated himself from other artists of his time, since he felt uncomfortable with the New York "Art Scene", and was never certain where he fit in, though its clear from today's vantage point that he fit right in the center.
