Known as the "Father of Impressionism"; Pissarro painted rural and urban French life; particularly landscapes; as well as scenes from Montmartre. Pissarro offer substantial contributions to Impressionist theory and also managed to remain on friendly; mutually respectful terms with such difficult personalities as Edgar Degas; Cezanne and Gauguin. Pissarro exhibited at all 8 of the Impressionist exhibitions. He was even so a primary developer of Impressionist technique. Pissarro experimented with Neo-Impressionist ideas between 1885 and 1890. Discontented with what he referred to as "romantic Impressionism;" he investigated Pointillism which he called "scientific Impressionism" before returning to a purer Impressionism in the last decade of his life. During his lifetime; Camille Pissarro sold few of his paintings.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well done bookBy Murray SperberThis book is in the Arcadia series on various local areas of America. They try to get local residents with good photo albums--or access to them--to do the books. Lincoln Park succeeds because of the authors knowledge of the area; her obvious love for it; and her excellent collection of photos. She puts together a history that local residents as well as visitors can enjoy. My only criticism--a small one--is that she should have had more photos of Lincoln Parks decline from the 1960s to the 1980s when it revived. But that it is small omission from an otherwise good work.
