PISSARRO, CAMILLE 1830-1903:

FRENCH BORN 1830 DIED 1903. ONE OF THE GREAT IMPRESSIONISTS, PISSARRO PRODUCED THE LARGEST BODY OF GRAPHIC WORK OF THE MOVEMENT. HIS LITHOGRAPHIC AND ETCHED STUDIES ARE SOME OF THE FINEST PIECES OF GRAPHIC WORK TO BE PRODUCED IN THE 19TH CENTURY. IN LINE WITH HIS "BACK TO THE LAND" BELIEFS, MUCH OF PISSARRO'S WORK DEPICTS THE RURAL WAY OF LIFE AND PEASANTS WORKING IN THE FIELDS. HE WAS HOWEVER ALSO CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME WONDERFULLY TENDER NUDE STUDIES.
