Favorite Artists: Camille Pissarro
Loading...
Uploaded by bestjonbon on Nov 27, 2007
Here are works by another of my favorite Jewish artists, Camille Pissarro. Pissarro was born in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas (now part of the U.S. Virgin Islands), in 1830. He spent some time in Venezuela, then went to France in 1855. He studied and worked in Paris until 1870 when the Franco-Prussian War forced him to flee to England. When he returned a year later, his discovered that Prussian soldiers had destroyed much of his early work. He began a series of new and interesting paintings of French rural and urban life that eventually earned for him the title "Father of Impressionism." He was a fatherly figure who acted as mentor to such well-regarded painters as Paul Cézanne, Paul Gauguin, and Edgar Degas. Pissarro died in 1903. Though he sold few paintings in his lifetime, his works now sell in the U.S. for several million dollars each.

Great artists like Pissarro do not need individual critics or admirers to add such epithets to their names. Laicity should govern the art world especially when it gets to geniuses like him. I am sure he would have disagreed to have been segragated or categorised in such a way. Why don't we just stick to his greatness, no revendication, no religion or cast categories are necessary to be added, let us remain humble at the sight of such excellence in the same way he probably was.

What you have against the mentioning the fact that Pissaro was Jewish?
Speak clear!

Pissarro born at Holland Antilles descends from portuguese families. The name Pissarro is portuguese not spanish, (Pizarro). The portuguese has the proud to be represent by this wonderfull artist. As curiosity.

Was it necessary to mention that he was Jewish? Pissaro was first of all French wasn't he?

Yes, originally this was part of a collection called "My Favorite Jewish Artists." Only later, did I start mentioning them by country instead.

Oops, Monet. His "Impression: Sunrise." How did that get in there? Afraid I messed up a bit.
