THE ART OF PISSARRO (Part 3)
THE ART OF PISSARRO surveys the long and productive life and paintings of JACOB CAMILLE PISSARRO. He was called the “Father of Impressionism” for his knowledge and support of those artists. He explored many subjects and a variety of aesthetic approaches in his paintings. He always glorified the landscapes and the people in his works. He said he saw “Beauty in spots where others see nothing.” (1893)
46. Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my
life. What else matters? When you put all your
soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you
cannot fail to find a kindred soul who
understands you, and you do not need a host of
such spirits. Is that not all an artist should wish
for?
(Letters to his son, Lucien)
