		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.
		Of course, Pissarro was also influenced by the work of his two eldest sons, Lucien and Georges, and a few years before his death, Pissarro was providing advice and guidance to two of his sons' friends: Henri Matisse and Francis Picabia.
		"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.

	Camille Pissarro - Artist Biography
		Pissarro became interested in Courbet Courbet, who was more sympathetic to the younger artists than was Corot.
		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.

	Impressionism - Biography of Camille PISSARRO
		Camille Pissarro was born in Saint-Thomas, Virgin Islands, on July 10, 1830 to a Jewish French father (Abraham) of Portuguese origin, who had settled in this Danish colony of the West Indies a few years earlier, and to a creole mother named Rachel Manzano-Pomie native of Danish Antilles.
		Pissarro's production, reduced until 1890, will become more abundant when financial difficulties re-appear and this although he suffers from an eyes' disease which prevents him from working in open-air.

		Pissarro's works at this time were occasionally, though by no means consistently, accepted at the annual Salons.
		By this time Pissarro and Monet had begun to work directly from nature and to develop the unique style that would later be called Impressionism.
		This fact is important because it reveals something about Pissarro's relation to Impressionism generally: he was the patriarch and teacher of the movement, constantly advising younger artists, introducing them to one another, and encouraging them to join the revolutionary trend that he helped to originate.

		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.

		The challenges of Pissarro's own life were as arduous as those of the Movement woven around him; here was a man who faced obstacles with strength and dignity.
		And Pissarro was especially regarded as a teacher; he became the centre of a group of painters -- Renoir, Monet, Degas, Cézanne -- who respected his art and turned to him for inspiration.
		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.

		I say transformed because it is the case that Pissarro did not reject or attempt to forget the past; he involved himself in the history of landscape painting in France and made sure to manufacture an alternative to this history, one not wholly bound to its aims.
		Pissarro painted in a variety of manners during the period under discussion; despite their diversity, the pictures examined in this essay make similar claims about perceptual experience and must be understood in terms of a sustained exploration on Pissarro's part of vision and the possibility of its representation.
		Pissarro, Monet, and Sisley are described as attempting to recreate, give form to, their visual experience; the viewer is struck by the "immediate caress which the eye receives" when looking at one of their paintings.
