Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape

30 Oct, 2007 - 06 Jan, 2008
Featuring spectacular, luminous landscapes and richly evocative scenes of simple rural life, Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape celebrates the earliest and most revolutionary stage of the painter`s career. The exhibition focuses upon the crucial decade of 1864 to 1874, when Pissarro began to boldly transform his traditional landscapes into more loosely painted and colorful images of the natural world. Among the first masterpieces of the Impressionist movement, these brilliantly innovative paintings influenced an entire generation of artists, including Paul C茅zanne and Paul Gauguin. Ranging from images of hills and skies painted in intensely saturated blues and greens to subtle depictions of snowy streets, these canvases establish and confirm Pissarro`s contribution to the origins of Impressionism. Bringing together thirty-nine of the artist鹿s most striking works, drawn from major international museums and private collections, this exhibition reveals Pissarro`s place not only among the most enduring and important artists of the entire Impressionist movement, but as a painter of revolutionary power and vision. This exhibition is organized and circulated by The Baltimore Museum of Art. It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
