Camille Pissarro. 1830 - 1903
Born 1830 on the Caribbean
island of St. Thomas and at a young age moved to Paris to study
painting. He later returned to St. Thomas to run the family
business but his heart and future was as a painter. Driven by
his passion for painting he returned to Paris in 1855 and during
this time met Corot and Manet. In 1860 he became friends with
Cézanne and other Impressionists and exhibited a painting at the
'Salon des Refuses'. The small group of Impressionists being
short of a place to show their works exhibited at the
photographic studio of Nadar and the exhibition proved a
success. Pissarro giving advice to young painters said, "Look
for the type of scene in nature that suits your temperament and
then the motif should be observed for its shape and colour
rather than for its drawing. Try and keep your painting loose
in form, as precise drawing is dry and hampers the impression of
the whole and destroys all the sensations. Do not define to
closely the outlines of things as it is the brush stroke of the
right value and colour which should produce the drawing. Looked
as a mass the greatest difficulty is not to give the contour in
detail but to paint what is within. Always paint the essential
character of things and try to convey it by any means whatsoever
without bothering about technique. When you are painting, make a
choice of subject and see what is on the right and the left,
then work on everything simultaneously. Don't work bit by bit,
but paint everything at once by placing the tones everywhere
with brush strokes of the right colour
and value, while taking notice
of what is alongside as this may affect the reflective colour
and value. Use small brush strokes and try to put down your
perceptions immediately. Your eyes you should not be fixed by
one point, but should take in everything while you are observing
the reflections which the other colours produce on their
surroundings. Work at the same time upon sky, water, branches
and ground, keeping everything going on an equal basis and
unceasingly rework until you have the effect. Cover the canvas
with paint at the first go and then work at it until you can
see nothing foliage and other things. Don't be afraid of putting
on colour and then refine the work little by little. Don't
proceed according to rules and principles, but paint what you
observe and feel. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it
is best not to lose your first impression. Never be timid in
front of nature as one must be bold at the risk of being
deceived into making mistakes. The artist must have only one
master and it is nature as she is the one always to be
consulted."
Pissarro became one of the first
great artists of the 19th / 20th century to use pastels as a
painting medium in it's own right and his pastels have a
strength of colour equal to any other medium. Following a long
and successful career painting in
Pastels, Oils and Water-color in
1930, Paris he died age 73 years old.
