Camille Pissarro Artworks, Etchings and Prints
Introducing our collection of Pissarro art for sale. Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) is considered to have been one of the masters of Impressionism. Pissarro was the oldest member of a group of major Impressionist artists, including Monet, Cezanne and Renoir, and was the only painter to exhibit at all of the Paris Impressionist Exhibitions. He was influenced by Corot, especially in his fondness for painting outdoors (in "plein air") and, like Jean-Francois Millet, was famous for his scenes of rural and peasant life. For a few years he experimented with pointillism and Neo-Impressionism; he also influenced Gauguin and other Post-Impressionists. Pissarro paintings are well known to the world, but it is of course his prints which are of special interest to us and here we are proud to present a selection of his etchings. His son Lucien Pissarro was also an accomplished artist, and we feature some of his woodcuts.
