Camille Pissarro - Paintings


Camille Pissarro, who was the eldest and most nature loving among the young Impressionists, was one of the most important French painters of Impressionism.
Born on July 10, 1830 in St. Thomas, Lesser Antilles (West Indies).
Died on November 13, 1903 in Paris.
After long persuasion discussions with his parents to be allowed to engage in art, Camille Pissarro came to Paris and studied at both the École des Beaux-Arts and the Académie Suisse, where he met Claude Monet and Paul Cézanne. His early work was influenced by Camille Corot, under whose guidance some important works were created. Influenced by the young Impressionists, his color range became brighter from the 1870 on; a merging of the colors and shapes and the resolution of the shadows towards small colored spots could be observed. Camille Pissarro was known as a committed socialist and atheist. Among his artist friends Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley.htm, he engaged in each of the nine independent Impressionist exhibitions as well as in the admittance and promotion of new young artists such as Georges Seurat and Paul Gauguin. After trying his hand as Pointillist in the years 1886 - 1890, his late work consists of very sensitively painted cityscapes and drawings, watercolors, lithographs and etchings.
