Antoinette's Drawings

Camille Pissarro was born on July 10, 1830, on the island of St.Thomas. Relocating to Paris as a young man, Pissarro began experimenting with art, eventually helping to shape the Impressionist movement with friends including Claude Monet and Edgar Degas.

Most knowingly famous for his drawing of landscapes, he found this to be the most interesting because he began to understand and appreciate nature for what it was. After a year in Paris, he began to leave the city and paint scenes in the countryside to capture the daily reality of village life. He found the French countryside to be "picturesque," and an amazing view that was worth painting. It was still mostly agricultural and sometimes called the "golden age of the peasantry. Though, painting landscapes was one of his most enjoyable portraits.

Like most artist, Camille has a lot of lost paintings. Paintings such as oil ones and many other ones. One such lost piece, Pissarro's 1897 oil painting, Rue St. Honoré, Apres Midi, Effet de Pluie, was discovered hanging at Madrid's government-owned museum, Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza. However, in January 2011, the Spanish government denied a request by the US ambassador to return the painting to the Cassirer family in California, which claims with proof that it was among those illegally taken by Nazis in Germany.

            As he got older and he began to reach the age where he was unable to do what he used to do. He cut his drawing time to only drawing landscapes during nice weather. He also began to teach his son how to draw and his son described him as a “splendid teacher”. Along with Camille beginning a talented painter, the rest of his family and the generations that came after him too picked up his talent as well.

​ Everything in my collage is a representation of me and my life. I love to hang with my friends and just have a good time. I like to make life worth something and not necessarily making everything so serious, yet understanding when to be serious. I love to play and watch basketball. I have been playing ever since the 7th grade and don't have no intentions on stoping anytime soon. I like to keep my faith balanced and pretty personal. Lastly, I love food. I of course love it for the taste but also, when I'm around food, it usually comes along with family. Spending time with family is very important to me and being around them brings enjoyment to me.
