00:26The only painter to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions organized between 1874 and 1886, Camille Pissarro became a pivotal artist and mentor within the movement.
00:41While the Impressionists are known for their depictions of city streets and country leisure, Pissarro covered his canvases with images of the day-to-day life of French peasants.
00:54His greatest work joins his fascination with rural subject matter, with the empirical study of nature under different conditions of light and atmosphere, deriving from intense study of French realism.
01:08The picture the boulevard Montmartre, morning cloudy weather, was created in 1897.
01:15After spending six years in rural irony, Pissarro returned to Paris, where he painted several series of the grand boulevards.
01:26Surveying the view from his lodgings at the Grand Hotel de Russie in early 1897, Pissarro marveled that he could see down the whole length of the boulevards, with almost a bird's eye view of carriages, omnibuses, people, between big trees, big houses that have to be set straight.
01:50From February through April, he recorded, in two scenes of the boulevard des Italia to the right and 14 of the boulevard Montmartre to the left, the spectacle of urban life as it unfolded below his window.
02:06This painting, which survives in pristine condition, was the first impressionist work to be acquired for the National Gallery of Victoria, entering the Melbourne collection in 1905, only two years after Pissarro's death.
02:22Currently, the boulevard Montmartre, morning cloudy weather, is in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia.
02:31By the 1880s, Pissarro began to explore new themes and methods of painting, to break out of what he felt was an artistic mire.
02:41As a result, Pissarro went back to his earlier themes by painting the life of country people, which he had done in Venezuela in his youth.
02:53Degas described Pissarro's subjects as peasants working to make a living.
03:00However, this period also marked the end of the Impressionist period, due to Pissarro's leaving the movement.
03:07As Joachim Pissarro points out, once such a die-hard Impressionist as Pissarro had turned his back on Impressionism, it was apparent that Impressionism had no chance of surviving.
03:22It was Pissarro's intention during this period to help educate the public, by painting people at work or at home in realistic settings, without idealizing their lives.
03:34Peasant House at Irani is located at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in the United States.
03:42The picture The Orchard in Bloom, Louvesiens, was painted by Pissarro in 1872.
03:49Fleeing with his family to London during the Franco-Prussian War, the artist waited until late 1871, after the suppression of the commune, to return to his home in Louvesiens.
04:01His house had been occupied, and many of the paintings he had left behind had been destroyed.
04:09As France began to rebuild, the artist also gradually recovered from the disaster.
04:14In Orchard in Bloom, Louvesiens, painted the next spring, he had shown the freshly ploughed earth, like the spring blossoms that bring life to the dormant landscape, as a signal of renewed hope for his adopted country and for his career.
04:32Pissarro's work was then beginning to attract buyers. This painting, for example, was one of the first Impressionist works purchased by Paul Durant Rule, a dealer whose support was to become critical to the young artists.
04:47Currently, the painting is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington in the United States.
