Art lovers, join us for another intriguing and passionate art talk with art historian Marie-Pierre Rondeau. This time we will dive into the life and work of Camille Pissaro.

Camille Pissarro has been called the father figure of the Impressionists because he was the oldest in the group. He took new artists under his wing and gave them advice and encouragement. Although he painted a variety of subjects, he is mostly known for his luminous portrayal of the natural world, which not only inspired the young artists of the 19th Century avant-garde, but continues to impress and inspire today’s artists.

This presentation will be followed by a live Q&A, so come ready with your questions! Can’t make it on that day? Sign up and ask our cultural manager to send you the recording: culture@frenchlibrary.org
