The eldest child of Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Lucien went to England to seek his fortune as an artist. His father wrote almost daily to him. The correspondence, which began in 1883 and stopped only with Camille Pissarro's death 20 years later, provides readers with a source of information and inspiration. To the historian these letters give first-hand material, to the artist they reveal the methods and theories of a master, and to the average reader they disclose the intimate life and everyday struggle of a great but simple man, with a gift not only for the brush, but also for the pen. Pissarro's comments on life, politics and literature are as pungent and fascinating as those on artists such as Gauguin, Renoir, Monet, Cassatt, Degas and Cezanne. But it is when he communicates to Lucien his own views on art that these letters take on their highest importance as a illuminating document of Impressionism.

This large, lavish journey through the art of the 19th-century French landscape offers a host of masterful works, among them Corot's Forest of Fontainbleau, Millet's End of the Hamlet of Gruchy, Renoir's Rocky Crags at L'Estaque, and Monet's Rue de la Bavolle, Honfleur. As is often the case, however, some of the most wonderful things to see are also the least expected: rare and unusual monotypes by Degas, three states of a softground etching by Pissarro, and numerous works by some of their lesser-known but equally important contemporaries. Unlike previous books on the topic, Impressions of Light presents a unique and stunningly complete group of work that introduces a new level of complexity into the discussion of French landscapes. Rather than considering the landscape as a steady, linear development and the product of a single medium, it takes into account the many crosscurrents and intersecting developments in French art, from the Barbizon school through the post-Impressionist period. In addition, it studies the landscape in a variety of media--painting, prints, and photography--exploring both the individual artists' perceptions and the ways in which they influenced each other. With over 80 paintings and 70 works on paper from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston's collections, and published to accompany a major exhibition, Impressions of Light encompasses more than 100 years and 56 artists working in a dozen different media. It holds the broadest possible view, yet never loses sight of the extraordinary intricacy that makes the landscape so enduringly appealing.

Letters to His Son Lucien

Hassell Street Press

Pissarro started as a student of Camille Corot. Even in this teacher's choice, we see the artist's inherent love for the landscape painting. Already in his early works, he paid particular attention to the image of the illuminated objects in the air. Light and air have become a leading topic in Pissarro's work.Gradually, he began to get rid of Corot's influence, his style matured. Since 1866, the palette of the artist has become brighter, the space dominated by sunlight and sparkling air, and the neutral tones inherent in Corot disappear.The works that glorified Pissarro are a combination of traditional landscapes and unusual techniques for painting bright and illuminated objects. The landscapes of the mature Pissarro were painted with thick brushstrokes and filled with the physical sense of light that he wanted to express.After he acquainted with Georges-Pierre Seurat in 1890, Pissarro was interested in the technique of Pointillism (separate staining). But his works were selling very severely. Furthermore, what he wanted to convey with the help of this technique was gradually exhausted and ceased to bring him artistic satisfaction. Pissarro returned to his usual way.In the last years of Pissarro's life, his health has deteriorated visibly. Still, he continued to work and created a series of views of Paris, filled with high artistic emotions. The unusual prospect of these canvases is explained by the fact that the artist painted them not on the street, but the windows of hotel rooms. This series of landscapes has become one of the highest achievements of Impressionism in the transmission of light and atmospheric effects.
