Camille Pissarro (1830 – 1903)
“Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for”? (Camille Pissarro)
Pissarro was born in 1830 in St. Thomas, the West Indies. In 1841 he was sent to school in Paris where he created his first drawings. By 1847 he returned to St. Thomas to work for his father which he did not like and consequently ran away to Caracas, Venezuela, for 2 years to paint. His first pictures were West Indian scenes in an – Oriental Style -. In 1855 his father finally allowed him to study art in Paris. He became friends with Monet, Cezanne and Guillaumin and played a key role in the development of Impressionism. He was the only artist to show in all 8 of the Impressionist exhibitions. For him Impressionism was a movement which allowed artistic emancipation. He believed strongly in free thought and speech. Before he introduced figures into his work in 1880, giving them a more decorative character, his paintings resembled most those of Monet. Later on Pissarro was attracted to Seurat’s Pointillism and saw it as a logical development of Impressionism. He adopted Seurat’s techniques but with limited success. Camille Pissarro was born in the West Indies, but studied in Paris under Corot. He also studied with Monet at the Academie Suisse, who encouraged him to join the Impressionists. Both Monet and Pissarro lived in London from 1870 to 1871 to avoid the Franco-Prussian War. From 1885-1888, Pissarro explored the divisionism technique of Neoimpressionist, Seurat, before returning to his original style. Confined indoors because of his failing eyesight, Pissarro painted views of Rouen and Paris from 1896 to his death.
