POPUP

A senior figure of the Impressionist movement, French artist Camille Pissarro was significant for his mentoring of younger artists and his idyllic paintings of rural life outside Paris. Pissarro also had a great influence on Post-Impressionist painters such as Paul Cézanne and Georges Seurat, making him a decisive character in the development of modern art.

PAUL CÉZANNE

Pissarro was the only artist to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions, acting as constant source of encouragement for the other artists. During the Franco-Prussian War he, like Monet, fled to London. Here they saw paintings by J. M. W. Turner and John Constable that influenced them greatly in the development of the Impressionist style. Pissarro returned to France in 1872 and painted primarily out-of-doors, perfecting the Impressionist technique of short strokes of broken colour, depicting countryside scenes of fields, haystacks, river valleys and peasants.

‘Work at the same time on sky, water, branches, ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis … Don’t be afraid of putting on colour … Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.’

Vue sur la Maison des Mathurins, Pontoise, 1875

Camille Pissarro

Painted in 1875 between the first and second Impressionist exhibitions, Vue sur la Maison des Mathurins, Pontoise belongs to Camille Pissarro’s vast body of work capturing the French rural town of Pontoise in the north-western suburbs of Paris. The painting depicts the former convent of the Order of the Holy Trinity in the section of L’Hermitage, which was rented by Maria and Anna Deraismes, two sisters who played a leading role in the intellectual, political and social life of the time. Fellow French artist Paul Cézanne painted a corresponding view of the house from around the same time (1875-1877, The State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow), which demonstrates a clear affinity to the present work. Both paintings are testament to the intense pictorial dialogue between the two artists that had

La Route d’Auvers, Pontoise, 1879

Camille Pissarro

The body of work created by Camille Pissarro in and around Pontoise between 1866 and 1883 is widely considered to be the most important of the artist’s career. It was during the late 1970s and early 1880s – ‘the late Pontoise period’ – that Pissarro demonstrated his stylistic ingenuity in a commune that has become synonymous with the artist’s work. His paintings from the 1870s served as great inspiration for the younger artists Paul Cézanne and Paul Gauguin, who both spent time in Pontoise working alongside Pissarro. Cézanne later referred to Pissarro as the first Impressionist and said that ‘We may all descend from Pissarro’.

‘… we learned everything we do from Pissarro … it’s he who was really the first Impressionist.’
