Exhibition on Screen--Pissarro: Father of Impressionism
not rated 94 minutes in English Directed by: David Bickerstaff
Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. He is rightfully known as the father of Impressionism. It was a dramatic path that Pissarro followed, and throughout it all he wrote extensively to his family. Along with the UK’s Ashmolean Museum’s remarkable Pissarro archive, it is through these intimate and revealing letters that this film reveals Pissarro’s life and work. With exclusive access to the most extensive archive of any Impressionist painter, and to the first major Pissarro retrospective in four decades, this documentary explores and highlights the enthralling and hugely important biography and output of an incredible artist.
