This focus exhibition concentrates on one decade of Camille Pissarro's (French, 1830-1903) painting career, the years 1864 to 1874. Pissarro, who was also a prolific draftsman and printmaker, is best known today for his oil landscapes created after this time. Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape tells the story of ten years' evolution and Pissarro's growing joy in his new style. The nearly-50 paintings in the exhibition are arranged chronologically, allowing us to travel with the artist from the Barbizon School to the first Impressionist exhibition -- quite literally from shadows to light.
Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape was organized and circulated by The Baltimore Museum of Art, where it was on view from February 11-May 13, 2007. The exhibition's two other stops include the Milwaukee Art Museum (June 9-September 9, 2007) and Memphis Brooks Museum of Art (October 7, 2007-January 6, 2008).
