One of the true founders of Impressionism—he was the only member of the group to participate in all eight Paris Impressionist exhibitions, from 1874 to 1886—Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) was a teacher and father figure to many of the Impressionists as well as the major post-Impressionists Georges Seurat, Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, and Paul Gauguin. His style changed significantly over the years as he pursued various techniques, yet he always strove to capture real life, from peasants in the field to the boulevards of Montmartre. Boasting outstanding color reproductions on nearly every page, this art book is both affordable and compact (measuring just under 7½ inches square) yet offers a surprisingly wide-ranging survey of this important modern artist, with an introductory essay, titles, and captions in six languages.
