 | Favorite Artists: Camille Pissarro Here are works by another of my favorite Jewish artists, Camille Pissarro. Pissarro was born in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (now part of the U.S. Virgin Islands), in 1830. He spent some time in Venezuela, then went to France in 1855. He studied and worked in Paris until 1870 when the Franco-Prussian War forced him to flee to England. When he returned a year later, his discovered that Prussian soldiers had destroyed much of his early work. He began a series of new and interesting paintings of French rural and urban life that eventually earned for him the title "Father of Impressionism." He was a fatherly figure who acted as mentor to such well-regarded painters as Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and Edgar Degas. Pissarro died in 1903. Though he sold few paintings in his lifetime, his works now sell in the U.S. for several million dollars each. |
 | Camille Pissarro Francia (1830-1903) Pintor impresionista francés, cuya amistad y apoyo dio ánimo a muchos pintores jóvenes. Pissarro nació en Santo Tomás, Islas Vírgenes, y se trasladó a París en 1855, donde estudió con el paisajista francés Camille Corot. Asociado en un principio con la Escuela de Barbizon, Pissarro se unió más tarde a los impresionistas y tuvo representación en todas sus exposiciones.Hasta 1866 pintó con gama sobria, a la manera que prevalecía entre los pintores influidos por Corot y Courbet. Sus obras de esta época de verdes austeros y grises sombríos constituyen lo que podría llamarse su manera negra. Su ascensión progresiva hacia la plena luz y yuxtaposición brusca de colores la debió a la influencia de Manet. Durante la Guerra Franco-prusiana (1870-1871), vivió en Inglaterra y estudió el arte inglés, interesándose sobre todo por los paisajes de Joseph Turner. En la década de 1880, desanimado con su trabajo, experimentó con el Puntillismo, el nuevo estilo, sin embargo, no cuajó entre los coleccionistas y galeristas, y tuvo que volver a un estilo impresionista más libre. Pintor del sol y de destellantes juegos de luz, Pissarro produjo buen número de tranquilas escenas rurales de ríos y paisajes, también pintó escenas callejeras en París como La calle Saint-Honoré después del mediodía, efecto de lluvia (1897, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza de Madrid), Le Havre y Londres. Era un excelente profesor, entre sus alumnos y colegas se encontraban Paul Gauguin y Paul Cézanne, su hijo Lucien Pissarro y la pintora impresionista estadounidense Mary Cassatt. Pissarro está representado en la Sala Caillebotte de Luxemburgo, y en casi todas las colecciones de pintura impresionista. Varias de sus mejores obras están en la Colección Durand-Ruel, de París. |
 | Renata Scotto - Camille Pissarro Renata Scotto - Verdi - Rigoletto - Caro NomeThe Italian opera singer Renata Scotto (born February 24, 1934) is a soprano widely admired for both her musical and dramatic gifts. Since retiring from the stage as a singer in 2002, she has turned to directing opera as well as teaching at her own opera academy in Italy and New York. Camille Pissarro (July 10, 1830 -- November 13, 1903) was a French Impressionist painter. His importance resides not only in his visual contributions to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, but also in his patriarchal standing among his colleagues, particularly Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin. |
 | Max Hayslette World renowned artist Max Hayslette names Camille Pissarro as his biggest influence, painting Pissarro-like subject matter of European and Tuscan landscapes. His light-hearted attitude coupled with a love for art results in paintings with dramatic lighting and charming vivacity. Found on Artaissance.com, Hayslette's work, in reproduction, is a breath of classic impressionism infused with his own unique style. |

 | "Fenaison a Eragny" by Camille Pissarro Fenaison a ÉragnyHaystacking in Éragny Camille Pissarro1830-1903 ? French Signed "C.P." (lower right) Tempera on paper applied to canvas Canvas: 18 1/4" high x 23" wideFrame: 26 1/4" high x 30 1/2" wide This painting is featured in the Wildenstein Institute's catalogue raisonne entitled Pissarro: Critical Catalogue of Paintings, Volume 3, page 855. It is also accompanied by a certificate of authenticity by the Wildenstein Institute. An important work by Camille Pissarro, counted among the most prolific artists of the 19th century and widely considered the father of Impressionism. His revolutionary approach to painting and thought-provoking compositions had a profound effect on his contemporaries and the entire future of Modern art. In Fenaison a Éragny, Pissarro depicts the hay harvest in the French village of Éragny-sur-Epte, his home in the later years of his life. He painted various scenes of life in the rural landscape, but it is his works of Éragny that are considered the finest of his career. Born in St. Thomas in the Danish West Indies, Camille was sent to school in Paris at the age of 11 where he displayed a talent for drawing. In 1855, having convinced his parents of his determination to pursue a career as an artist rather than work in the family shipping business, he returned to Paris where he studied at the Academie Suisse alongside Claude Monet. At the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, Camille moved to England. With Monet, he painted a series of landscapes around South-East London and studied English landscape painters in the museums. When he returned home to Louveciennes a year later, Camille discovered that all but 40 of the 1500 paintings he had left there - almost 20 years' work - had been vandalized. In 1872, Camille settled in Pontoise where he remained for the next 10 years, gathering a close circle of friends around him. Gauguin was among the many artists to visit him there and Cézanne, who lived nearby, came for long periods to work and learn. These were also the years of the Impressionist group exhibitions in which Camille played a major role, but which earned him much criticism for his art. While mainly interested in landscape, he introduced figures (generally peasants conducting their rural occupations) and animals into his work. These became the focal point of his most sought compositions. When Camille Pissarro died in the autumn of 1903, he had finally started to gain public recognition. Today, his work can be found in many of the most important museums and private collections throughout the world.
