Paris Art
Four paintings by Pissarro.
The blog needs a little color every now and then to compliment the vintage black and white photos. If you are familiar with the blog, you know that I throw in some paintings and poster art on occasion to add a splash of color.
The paintings are: "The Boieldieu Bridge At Rouen In Damp Weather", "Boulevard Mountmarte In Winter", "The Siein And The Lourve", "Boulevard Mountmarte At Night."
From Wikipedia:
Camille Pissarro (10 July 1830 – 13 November 1903) was a Danish Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born in the Virgin Islands, where his father was of Portuguese Jewish descent and his mother was native Creole.[1] He studied in Paris and London, becoming a permanent resident of France. His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, as he was the only artist to exhibit in both forms. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Courbet and Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.

I am not a very artistic person but I appreciate work of art for sure :) Thanks for sharing
Thanks for looking Shionge :)
Bizarre d’imaginer Pissarro comme danois. En effet les pays nordiques avaient quelques petites colonies… (St. Barthélemy était suédoise, vendue à la France en 1878.) :-)
To see some nice paintings is always nice !
Hello Peter, thanks for the visit!

Hey, it's been awhile. Hope you're well and properly immersed in 1920s Hemingway and Paris!
Hello C.K. - I'm OK, just a touch of illness that is keeping me out of things. Hopefully things will change soon.
Thanks for the concern!
Hi Paul! It’s already deep into the New Year and into the crisis, but hope is the last thing to fade... We’ll survive!
Hope you're feeling better!
