Andrion was born in Strasbourg, France where he began his career as a draftsman before moving to Paris in 1907. In 1921, Adrion debuted with his inaugural solo exhibition at Galerie Chéron. By 1926, at the age of thirty-seven, he held his first significant exhibition at the Salon des Indépendants, subsequently becoming a regular exhibitor there. In 1940, Adrion showcased his works at the Salon d’Automne, followed by an exhibition at the Salon des Tuileries in 1941, where he presented several landscapes. With a mastery of color and light, Adrion infused his paintings with a vibrant energy that reflects the essence of early 20th-century France.
