Description:

# The Honest Eye: Camille Pissarro's Impressionism

Camille Pissarro is considered one of the founders of the Impressionist movement in France. His artistic beginnings, however, lay in the Caribbean and South America. These roots were combined with a painterly interest in scenes of everyday rural life and a sympathy for anarchism. Pissarro’s motifs are often simple and restrained in tone. Only at second glance do we discover the charm of their attentively observed details and carefully orchestrated harmonies, qualities that arise from the artist’s respectful gaze, idealism, open-mindedness, and love of experimentation. Thematically, his images range from landscapes and gardens to family portraits, scenes of peasant life, and urban motifs such as the ports of Normandy and the bustling streets of Paris.

Please note:
