More About Pissarro...
Pissarro often painted from high view points; his developed pallete is quite chalky and pale, with predominant greens and blue. Surfaces are thickly painted.
He was a reclusive and unsettled artist. He was an anarchist and constantly in debt. He was also a father figure to many younger artists, including Cezanne and Gaugin.
In 1837, he helped establish a collective society composed of 15 aspiring artists. Art historian John Rewald called him the "dean of the Impressionist painters", not only because he was the oldest of the group, but also "by virtue of his wisdom and his balanced, kind, and warmhearted personality".
Pissarro is the only artist to have exhibited his work at all eight Paris Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886.
