Gardens of the Sunlight - Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro
Self-portrait

Within Impressionist "family" Camille Pissarro played the role of the best teacher, as well as that of the good shepherd who guided the strays back to the flock, the better to form a common front against all those who would have liked to see the group break up. Pissarro, along with Degas and Monet, was the most active in collective Impressionist exhibitions. Moreover he was the only one to participate in all of them.

Through all his life he was very close to the younger generation of painters. He was quick to take an interest in Gauguin, at another moment he gave in to the enticement of the scientific conceptions of Seurat's pointilism.

Pissarro was a commited, discreet and open man. As a painter he deliberately chose the most humble and desolate subjects mostly in the countryside at Louveciennes and Pontoise.
