Camille Pissarro paintings

Rue De Le Epicerie Rouen on a Sunny Afternoon

One man credited as the 'cradle' of the 'Impressionist' movement in France was the painter, Jacob-Abraham-Camille Pissarro or simply, Camille Pissarro. He was an iconic father figure to many a greats, such as his colleagues, Gauguin and Cézanne. Pissarro was born on the Virgin Islands of St Thomas, to his Portuguese father, Abraham Gabriel Pissarro, a Jew, and a Spanish mom, Rachel Manzano-Pomié, on July 10, 1830.
His initial education, in the typical mould of the mid nineteenth century education, took place in a boarding school in Paris, when he was twelve. Upon his return to St Thomas, after the formal education, Pissarro took up his childhood passion and started painting. At the age of 22, in 1852, he traveled to Venezuela with his fellow artist Fritz Melbye. This tour was a revelation of the sort for the young Pissarro. The sights and the smells of Venezuela inspired something creatively big in him, but then the lack of a formal grounding in artistic techniques proved an impediment.

The Effect of Snow on the Boulevard's Appearance

Coming back to Paris in 1855, he enrolled at École des Beaux-Arts, studying under the influence of artists, such as Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Gustave Courbet, and Charles-Francois Daubigny. These teachers were institutions in themselves and Pissarro was heavily inclined towards Corot. Corot's style influenced Camille's early paintings, a fusion of 'Naturalism' and 'Impressionism.' In 1859, he was formally admitted into the 'Salon,' the official exhibition of the Academy in France. The show got him a source of income, while having a 'legitimizing' effect on his works. During 1859-61, Pissarro attended the Académie Suisse, where he strongly bonded with painters, such as Monet and Cézanne. This was also a starting of the courtship of ten years with his mother's maid, Julie Vellay, whom he married in 1871.They were blessed with six children, of which, two sons, Lucien and Georges, also turned out to be accomplished painters.
As Camille Pissarro was developing his own imitable style of 'Impressionism' and influencing the younger breed of 'Impressionists,' the 'Salon' did not find his paintings anything more than "Sketchy Wall Papers" (which by the way, was the 'official' view about 'Impressionism'). Turning to the breakaway 'Salon des Refusés,' which featured the rebel 'Impressionists' like Degas and Monet, Pissarro became the leading light of this nascent movement. I had once meet with a interior designer whom collected a few Pissarro's paintings, really beautiful.
During 1866-68, he lived and painted at Pontoise, often incorporating the scenic beauty of the place into his works, such as in "Jalais Hill Pontoise (1867)." Later he moved to Louveciennes, a commune cum village in Paris, North France. This, however, proved to be a disastrous move, as the village was gutted in the Franco-Prussian War during 1870-71 and Pissarro had to flee to London in September 1870.

The Road to Louveciennes

Upon return in June 1871, Camille's commercial fortune kept falling, until his close associate, Daubigny, introduced him to an influential art dealer, Durand-Ruel, a favorite of the 'Impressionists.' In 1871, Pissarro had painted "The Avenue, Sydenham," "Norwood under Snow," "Lordship Lane Station," "The Crystal Palace," and "Dulwich College," to name some. Impressed Durand went out of his way to promote Pissarro and organized exhibitions & showings, which gave the much-needed financial succor to the artist. Between 1872 and 1878, Camille Pissarro returned to his beloved Pontoise, often collaborating with Cézanne to produce a series of masterpieces, which remain exemplary mementoes of 'Neo- Impressionism.' "The Garden of Pontoise," painted in 1875, is the quintessential Pissarro piece, which captures the essence of his love towards Pontoise. It also marks the shift of Pissarro from 'Realism' to bona fide 'Impressionism.'
Pissarro's later years (1885 onwards) were spent exploring 'Pointillism' techniques with Seurat and Signac, the masters of art. Soon, however, he returned to 'Impressionism.' He kept coming to London in 1890, 92, & 97, and painted several oils on each trip. Death came peacefully to him on Nov 12, 1903, in Paris. More than his work, which usually were themed around rural & urban life and the scenic views of a place, Pissarro is remembered for the influence he exerted on the famous painters, such as Gauguin and Cézanne. This speaks highly of him not only as an artist, but as a human being as well. Eyesee Art had the good artist for CAMILLE PISSARRO paintings reproductions.

Auguste Renoir paintings

Boating Party Lunch

Pierre-Auguste Renoir, famous impressionist painter, was born to a working class family on February 25th, 1841, in Limages, France. In 1844, the family was moved to Paris, where his father was employed as a tailor.
As a young boy of ten, Renoir began an apprenticeship as a porcelain painter where he would work for four years until the company declared bankruptcy in 1858. It was during this time that Renoir realized his talent for drawing and after the closing made the decision to pursue a career in painting.
In January of 1860, Renoir received permission to copy in the Louvre and would continue to do so for the next four years. It was here that Renoir began to develop a taste for the eighteenth-century masters such as Fragonard and Watteau. It was Boucher, however, that most appealed to him and Boucher's painting, "Bath of Diana" became and would remain to be one of his most adored and inspiring pieces.

Bather with Blonde Hair August Renoir 1904

In 1861, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was presented the opportunity to study at the studio of Marc-Gabriel-Charles Gleyre and at the same time he would also enroll at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. Rumor has it that in the year 1863, Renoir submitted a work to the official Salon, but was refused by the jury at the exhibition.

Not to be beaten or deterred, Renoir submitted his work again, the following year and found success. Surprisingly enough, his piece that was featured entitled "Esmerelda Dancing With Her Goat Around a Fire Illuminating the Entire Crowd of Vagabonds" was destroyed by the artist's own hands after the exhibition.
At the Gleyre studio, Renoir befriended many of the young artists including Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, and Frederic Bazille. He also came to know Henry Fantin-Latour, Camile Pissarro and Paul Cezanne. By 1863, the beginnings of the impressionist movement had taken root. i had once meet with a portait painter who paint in Renoir's style, quite beautiful.
It was six years later, in 1869, that Renoir and Monet would work together to produce what we regard today to be the first landscape paintings where the impressionist style is evident. This duo produced a number of works, seven of which are known today. Throughout the 1870's they would continue their partnership, producing works that were almost identical. Gradually, there work would develop in more personal directions.
Although the impressionist movement was the target of public scorn, Renoir's own popularity increased. This was in part due to his friendship with Caillbolte, one of the movement's greatest supporters as well as the strong backing of several art dealers and collectors. It was 1876 that saw Pierre-Auguste Renoir produce two of his most popular paintings; "Swing" and "Moulin de la Galette".
It was during the 1880's that Renoir started to become dissatisfied with his work. Thinking his art had become too loose and his forms less distinct, he began to separate himself from the impressionists, seeking inspiration and solace in the classic stylings of the eighteenth-century masters once again. Over the next few years, Renoir began to draw his pieces in the tight, classical lines, but this lead to little success, with the work he produced during this time not being considered comparable to his earlier renderings.
Thankfully, by the end of the 1880's, Auguste Renoir once again found his voice and his vision, producing some of his most remarkable works including "The Music Lesson", "Young Girl Reading", and "Sleeping Bather".
The year 1903 saw Pierre-Auguste Renoir's health decline drastically and he began to suffer terrible bouts of arthritis, eventually leaving him confined to a wheel chair and, depending on who you choose to believe, some say his hands were so crippled that he would actually tie the brush to his hand in order to facilitate his art. There are differing versions of this, some saying that while he would need the brush handed to him, he was still able to hold it on his own.
Despite his last few painful years, the August preceding his death saw Pierre-Auguste Renoir realize one of his life-long ambitions: the state had purchased "Madame Georges Charpentier". One of Renoir's last journeys was a trip to Paris to see his masterpiece hanging in the Louvre.
The life of Pierre-Auguste Renoir came to an end on December 3, 1919.

Micheli encouraged him to study landscape painting, portraiture, still life, and the nude in which he exhibited his finest talent. Amedeo, who detested his teacher's approach, was nevertheless one of the favorite students of Micheli who lovingly called him the 'Superman.'

Albert Bierstadt paintings

Sierra Nevada in California

Albert Bierstadt was born in Solingen, Germany in 1830. His family moved to Massechusetts, when Albert was two year old. He returned to Dusseldorf in Germany to study art between 1853 and 1857. His first painting was purchased by the Boston Arthenaeum and a successful future was sealed.
He was one of the Hudson River School participants - an informal group of like-minded painters who were challenged by the great landscapes of America. He loved mountains and visited the White Mountains often. Their paintings were detailed, romantic pieces with great attention to the light. He traveled west to capture the open spaces a number of times in sketches and drawings, returning to New York to complete his paintings. In 1863, he traveled west with author Fitz Hugh Ludlow, whose wife he would later marry. He loved publicity and was carried away by the uncritical enthusiasm of the general public rather than heeding the more carefully considered criticism of those who were better informed.

I had once get a great custom painting from pic2painting , in Albert's style, quite beautiful.They were also critical of his ego and overuse of some techniques, but people just kept on buying his works. He had become internationally renowned for his enormous paintings of the American west, and the public and the institutions kept paying record prices (some over $35,000) for his works. He was a prolific artist, and it is estimated that he sold over 400 paintings. His popularity and wealth grew, and he built an amazing mansion until the public simply did not want to buy any more of the detailed landscapes and he declared himself bankrupt in 1895. He was the central figure in the Rocky Mountain School of Painting.

Vincent Van gogh paintings

Cafe Terrace at Night Van gogh

Vincent Van Gogh has become known as one of the most tragic figures in world art. Despite the fact that he was not famous during his lifetime, only a few years after his death, his style started to have a major impact on the artistic movement. Currently, his paintings sold for record amounts. Van Gogh himself envisioned it, he wrote: "Nobody can do anything with the fact that no one buys my paintings. But the time will come when people will realize that their value is more than the cost of paint."
Vincent Van Gogh was born on March 30, 1853 in a small Dutch village of Groot-Zundert in a family of Teodorus the cleric and his wife Anna Karbentus. Exactly one year before that Anna gave birth to a dead child, named Vincent, a coincidence which might had a negative impact on his mind later and became one of the reasons for the loss of Van Gogh mental health.
A Vincent had a happy childhood spent in the progressive-minded family, surrounded by thebeautiful nature of the village. He was the eldest of six children: Anna (1855), Theo (1857), Vilhemena (1862) and Cornelius (1866), who also tragically committed suicide being even younger than Vincent, aged 34 years. The career of Vincent in the artistic world began at age 16 when he began to sell paintings of other artists. His three uncles were occupied with selling pictures. Following their example in 1869 he entered the company Goupil renowned French art dealer company, and worked in its offices in Europe. In 1873 there was his first emotional crisis , he loved the girl who was already engaged to another person. After Eugenie Loyer rejected him, he felt the first attack of melancholy, which turned into a depression. As a result of his conduct, his work began to suffer, and in 1876 he was dismissed for incompetence, and then went to Amsterdam to study theology, but he did not pass the exam and went to missionary school in Brussels.

Self Portrait 2 1887

After finishing school Van Gogh went to Borinage, a poor mining region of Belgium, where he was very much facilitate the lives of people around him. His life in this period was modest to the extreme, he lived in barracks, sleeping on straw, there was almost no difference from the lives of poor miners. Despite intolerable conditions Vincent begins to paint. Many workers, whom he met in Belgium, inspired him and he made many drawings, inspired by the style of Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875), he even made a few copies of his works. The theme of god-fearing, hard working people is reflected in the best-known work "potato eater". Returning from Brussels in 1881 and living for a while with his parents, he was again suffering from the undivided love, this time to a widowed cousin, who soon gave him a clear message that she was not interested in him.
Rejected and suffered from depression, Vincent did find the strength to move forward and settled in The Hague, where he begins to explore the art of Anton Mauve, he begins to explore different styles in art, and does a lot of reading. More than others he loved Dikens, Zola and Hugo. Months spent working and studying have been very helpful in creating his unique style. At the same time, he meets a local woman, Sienna Hoornik. She was a mother, a prostitute pregnant with her second child, when she met Vincent. She is present in several of his drawings at the time (including "Sorrow"). In 1883, Van Gogh leaves her feeling guilty later, also suffering from the fact that his brother Theo stops to give him financial support.

Vincent Van gogh starry night

In November 1885 Van Gogh comes to the Academy of Arts in Antwerp, which he leaves in a few months because of disagreements with teachers, believed that he had not sufficiently high standard of drawing. However, staying at the Academy had a lasting effect on his work, presenting it to the work of Rubens, and modifying his previous concept of color. From the dark tones, it gradually turns to a lighter and easier. In spring 1886, after leaving the Academy, Vincent moved to Paris to his brother. The brothers spend two years together, during this period of great creativity Vincent influenced byworks, sold by his brother, who was still working at Goupil, namely the works of Pissarro, Sisley, Guillamin. He also becomes acquainted with the work of Toulouse-Lautrec, and is interested in Japanese art, the influence of which can be seen in some of his works of that period. In February 1888 Vincent left his brother and Paris and moved to the village. "I'll go somewhere to the south, so as not to see all this accumulation of artists which bothers me,"- he writes.
He moved to the province, where creates some of his most famous works such as Sunflowers. He lived in Arles, reminding him to Japan and did not cease to admire the beauty of this southern province, travelling a lot in the province. "Now my colors are very bright - sky blue, orange, pink, bright yellow, light green, light wine, violet", - he writes to her sister. During the spring, he paints blooming trees, dozens of paintings, flushed with tender southern sun. In a letter to his brother Theo he writes: "I have never had such a wonderful opportunity to work. Nature is very beautiful, I can not paint as beautifully, but it touches me so much that I do not think about the rules." He works continuously and the only thing that saddens him - a constant shortage of money and paints.

Starry Night over the Rhone,

During his stay in Arles, Gauguin arrives, who is also intended to settle in the province, but after several months of living together two artists strongly fight and Gauguin left. This altercation resulted in the Vincent cuts off your ear. The tragic altercation occurred on Dec. 23, 1888. December 24, Van Gogh was admitted to hospital in Arles, suffering from recurrent attacks of insanity. However, January 7, Van Gogh did leave the hospital and returned home with a great desire to continue working. Over the next year, he repeatedly comes to the hospital, but sometimes his mind clears and he paints pictures, the theme for which are located right in the garden around him: "I work with materials, found here in the garden which is purple irises and lilac bush. " During this period he wrote the famous landscapes with cypresses and olive trees, still life with flowers. In 1890 he moved to the north, in Auvers: "Auvers is very beautiful. Here, among other things, a lot of thatches, which is becoming a rarity." He continues to paint.

vase with fourteen sunflowers

The last picture of Van Gogh was the one with wheat field and black birds over it, he expressed his "sadness and extreme loneliness."
Great artist tragically passed away on July 27, 1890, he shot himself. But he did not die immediately, but two days later, at the hands of his brother Theo.
In the seven years of intense creativity, he has created over 800 paintings and 700 drawings. But brighter than all, his talent opened in the landscape, following his choleric temperament. For the whole life he sold only one picture to a friend, the artist and nobody thought could not admit then that his "Irises" will be sold at auction in 1987 in New York for 53 million dollars.

Irises Saint Remy

Wonderful words said about the works of Van Gogh Ogtay Mirbo: " His life was not long. He never was professionally satisfied with his work. He wanted more, he dreamed of the impossible. We shall love Vincent Van Gogh and revere his memory, because he was really true and great artist."

The Dessert Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse was born in Le Cateau, France in 1869. He was the first born son of a middle class family who owned a flower shop. Matisse started his working career after he finished studying law. He would not start to take an interest in art until he became ill and his mother purchased him art supplies to help him pass the time. That is when Matisse became interested in art, and in 1892 he would leave his law career behind to travel to Paris to study art.

L'Atelier Rouge

Henri Matisse began his art studies in Paris under instructors that were mostly conservative. Matisse's early works are mostly still lifes, but he would eventually start experimenting with a more abstract approach in his artwork. He was greatly influenced by famous artists like Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne. He would experiment with the techniques used by other artists, sometimes even mimicking other pieces of famous artwork. Matisse used the painting methods of other artists, combined with his own unique brushstrokes to define his own painting technique. Many of Matisse's paintings exhibited bright colors.
While in art school Henri Matisse started moving away from the more conservative approaches he was taught. He was often thought of as being rebellious since his works were becoming more and more abstract. His use of very bold colors was also one of the reasons his artwork was considered controversial. However, Matisse did not let the controversy over his artwork stop him from continuing in his art career. He continued painting and in 1904 he met another famous painter, Pablo Picasso. It was in 1904 that Matisse had his first art exhibition. In 1905, he would have another exhibit with a group known as the "fauves." The term "fauves" came from the wild brush strokes and colors used in the paintings. Matisse and several other artists helped to bring about a painting method known as fauvism.
Henri Matisse used fauvism to show emotion in his paintings, especially his paintings of women. He not only liked to paint still lifes, but he was also known for painting women. One of his models included his daughter, Marguerite, who was born just a few years after he moved to Paris to study art. In his later years Matisse would soften the approach to his artwork while residing in the French Riviera.

Diego Rivera and his artworks

Diego Rivera self potrait

Diego Rivera, more formally known as Diego Maria de la Concepcion Juan Nepomuceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodriguez was born on December 8, 1886 in Guanajuato, Mexico to well-to-do parents. His father was from Spanish nobility and Rivera had advantages as a result of this. At the age of ten, Rivera was sent to the Academy of San Carlos, located in Mexico City, to study art. His studies continued in Europe thanks to the sponsorship of Veracruz's governor, Teodoro A. Dehesa Mendez. He arrived in 1907 in Europe where he saw the beginnings of cubism as portrayed by Pablo Picasso and others. He embraced this art form before moving to Post-Impressionism.
Upon his return to Mexico in 1921, Diego Rivera began working on murals. He participated in a government sponsored program which was planned by Vasconcelos. Other prominent artists who took part in this program included David Alfaro Siqueiros, Jose Clemente Orozco and Jean Charlot. In 1922, Rivera's first mural was completed. Creation was painted in Mexico City in the Bolivar Auditorium located in the National Preparatory School. That same year, Rivera helped found the Revolutionary Union of Technical Workers before joining Mexico's Communist Party. The focus of his murals switched to Mexican society and the 1910 Revolution.
Rivera, while involved in these activities, developed his own style. He began painting large simplified figures using bold colors. There was an Aztec influence in his art that can be seen in murals in Cuernavaca, Mexico City and Texcoco. In 1927, Diego Rivera chose to head back overseas where he arrived in Moscow. He was asked to paint a mural in Moscow for the Red Army Club, but was ordered out of the country in 1928 due to involvement in anti-Soviet politics. As a result, he returned to Mexico. The following year the Mexican Communist Party chose to expel him. He married Frida Kahlo in August of that year and continued his work. He then accepted a commission from the American Ambassador. He was to paint murals in Cuernavaca in the Palace of Cortez.
