		Degas was, incidentally, the artist to whom Pissarro referred the most often throughout his correspondence: their intense and mutual admiration was based on a kinship of ethical as well as aesthetic concerns.
		"Pissarro's radicalism is commensurate with the extent to which he subverted this traditional order of things; within his art, what grants signification to a painting is not so much its "meaning" as its "praxis," the fact that before anything, it was painted as a painting, not as a literary painting.

	The Vincent van Gogh Gallery
		Camille Pissarro was born on St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, and did not arrive in Paris until he was twenty-five.
		Pissarro's first completely Impressionist period, between 1870 and 1880, is characterized by a palette much lighter than his original one, by a small comma-shaped brushstroke; and by a shimmering golden or silvery light that bathes the soft colors of his landscapes.
		The most classical and humanistic of the Impressionists, Pissarro was extremely important not only for his own quietly serene art but for stimulating Cezanne's search for solidity, for contributing to Gauguin's early training, and for his advice and counsel to the other younger members of the Impressionist group.

		Pissarro's impressionism has much of the sobriety of Sisley's but less reflective.
		Everyone who knew Pissarro seems to have left some account of him, and by all these accounts his life and his character were a catalog of virtues - loyalty to his friends, wisdom as the father of a large family, courage in adversity, and patience, tolerance, honesty, and industry in all circumstances.
		Pissarro soon abandoned this extreme, but that he was attracted to it at all shows his cautiousness in the use of impressionist effects.

		Pissarro never lost his capacity for enthusiasm and response, his love of nature, and the bright spectacle of life around him, which he set down on his canvas with unforgettable lightness and loveliness.

		Pissarro lived in the country and his pictures suggest both an atmospheric and moral sympathy for the rural environment.
		Pissarro has an amazing command of backlighting, as in Villa at l'Hermitage, Pontoise of 1873 and enjoyed different times of day, as with the early morning look of The Road Near the Farm, 1871, and Kitchen Garden at l'Hermitage, Pontoise of '74.

		For a long time, Camille Pissarro was best known for his paintings from the 1880s, in which peasant girls tend cows, pick apples, wash dishes and shop at a poultry market.
		During the early 1990s, the redoubtable Richard Brettell, a Pissarro specialist, and Joachim Pissarro, the painter’s charismatic great-grandson, as co-curators focused attention on "The Impressionist and the City: Pissarro’s Serial Paintings." This show, which was on view in Dallas, Philadelphia and London, merited a long car ride, even the purchase of an airplane ticket.
		Much can be made of Pissarro bringing to Impressionism his perspective as a Danish citizen, a Jew and a resident of the Americas; but it is just as relevant that the hillsides and road crossings around Pontoise offered the émigré new sensations in terms of a change of terrain and a different life style.

		Some, like Pissarro, who had studied Marx as well as Peter Kropotkin, reasoned that 'the movement of ideas in present society tends with extraordinary energy towards the elaboration of new philosophical & scientific systems destined to become law in societies of the future.'
