FINE ART PRINTS & POSTERS of Camille Pissarro

Fine Art of Camille Pissarro

Camille Pissarro was born on the 10'Th of July 1830 on the St Thomas Island in the West Indies. In his young age Camille did not show much attention to the family business. In stead he preferred spending his time sketching the picturesque ports. In 1852 he starts to work as an artist in Venezuela with the Danish painter Fritz Melbye. In 1855 Pissarro travels to France, just in time to see the World Exposition Universal, which included a large section of art. Here he meets Corot, whose landscape paintings Camille admired. Following Corot's advices, Camille starts painting and sketching motifs of the landscapes near Paris, along the Sein, Oise and Marne Rivers. From 1859 he works intermittently in the Academy Suisse, where he meets Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne and other painters of the future art movement; Impressionism. In the 1860's Camille takes part in exhibition at the Salon and his powerful realistic landscapes were praised by critics as Emile Zola. However, commercial success and financial sufficiency eluded Pissarro. During the Franco Prussian war (1870-71) he flies temporarily to England, like Claude Monet. In London he studies art of Constable and William Turner, and he starts painting series of English landscapes.Continous!

In 1871 Camille Pissarro returns to France and settles down in Pontoise for the next ten years. His fellow artist Paul Cezanne repeatedly came to stay with him, and under Camille's influence Cezanne learned to study nature more thoroughly and patiently. These years were also the Great Decade of the Impressionism (1872-1883). Although the movement was initiated by Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Alfred Sisley, Pissarro had a major role as he was always searching for new means of expression, and that is why Pissarro is regarded as the most innovative among the impressionists. One of the few collectors at that time, a successful stock broker (and amateur painter) named Paul Gauguin, turned to Camille for his advice as he had decided to become a full time painter. In the 1880's Camille Pissarro moves to Eragny, nearby Paris. In 1885, in a time the impressionist group realized that an era was on its end, Pissarro meets the young artists Signac and Seurat. At this time he was rather dissatisfied with his own works and he got fascinated by the young artists' attempts to replace the intuitive perceptions of the impressionists with a thorough knowledge to the nature's phenomena and by a technique of pointillism based on optical laws. As the radical man Pissarro was, he followed this new innovative concept and passed it on to Vincent van Gogh, who had just moved to Paris in the matter of learning the most recent developments in art. As the years pasted by, Camille Pissaro gradually left the Neo Impressionism in the favor of the new style which he felt gave him the opportunity to capture his sensations of nature. Camille Pissaro is also regarded as an excellent teacher and he influenced pupils as Paul Gaugin, the American Impressionist Mary Cassatt, and his son Lucien Pissarro.
