Born to a French Jewish family on the Danish Caribbean island of St. Thomas, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) never became a French citizen, though he enthusiastically captured 19th-century France in art, especially its countryside and the peasants who toiled in it. This talk will explore how Camille constantly experimented in style, subject matter, and media as he produced 2,000 oil paintings and thousands of drawings, watercolors, and prints. A beloved teacher and comrade, Camille traded influences with his fellow-artists, such as Paul Gauguin and Paul Cézanne, and watched four of his seven children become artists themselves.
