1877

It's a bit difficult to write about Pissarro, because he was so important to Impressionism and the following movements that to put something approaching a holistic view, no matter how summary, in a paragraph would be impossible. But what else would you expect from a student of Corot? Though an old man among the young, he constantly pushed forward and reinvented himself, seeking within the novel anything he could pick up on and learn. The results are absolutely wonderful, varied and unparalleled.
