Camille Pissarro was a Danish-French
Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of St Thomas
(now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies). His
importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and
Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave
Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside
Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at
the age of 54. In 1873 he helped establish a collective society of fifteen
aspiring artists, becoming the "pivotal" figure in holding the group
together and encouraging the other members. Art historian John Rewald called
Pissarro the "dean of the Impressionist painters", not only because
he was the oldest of the group, but also "by virtue of his wisdom and his
balanced, kind, and warmhearted personality". Paul Cézanne said "he
was a father for me. A man to consult and a little like the good Lord",
and he was also one of Paul Gauguin's masters. Pierre-Auguste Renoir referred
to his work as "revolutionary", through his artistic portrayals of
the "common man", as Pissarro insisted on painting individuals in
natural settings without "artifice or grandeur".
