Film Series. The Great Artists: Their Lives, Times and Works – Pissarro
Wednesdays from 10:30-11:45 am. Held in the Bantle Lecture Gallery. Free and open to the public. Reservations suggested as seating is limited. This film series chronicles the life, times and works of each featured artist and explores their stylistic trademarks. The programs also place each artist in historical context, highlighting the events that inspired his work and providing a clearer understanding of the creative process. The five programs in this collection provide an in-depth look into the fascinating world of the Impressionists and their art.
This week: Pissarro. This is the story of the life and work of Camille Pissarro, the West-Indian born leader of the original Impressionists and the only artist from that school to exhibit at all eight of the exhibitions from 1874 to 1886. A considerable influence on Cezanne and Gauguin at the beginning of their careers, Pissarro’s great works include the famous Boulevard Montmartre which hangs today in the National Gallery, London.
