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.
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.
