Pissarro: Colour Library (Revised)Paperback - Revised, 12 August 1998

Camille Pisarro (1830-1903) was not only a central figure in the Impressionist movement but a major influence on the development of modern art. He was the only artist to exhibit at all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions between 1874 and 1886, and his letters are a fascinating and invaluable source of information on the theoretical aspects and practical implications of Impressionism.

This marvellously illustrated book charts the evolution of his painting, and celebrates his compositional brilliance, technical skill and innovatory approach. Forty-eight full-page colour plates illustrate the extraordinary quality of Pisarro's work from all periods, and these, combined with Christopher Lloyd's illuminating text, constitute a superb introduction to the artist.
