The media, in order to sell the exhibition and making eco cabinet press Caixafòrum, we have repeated the unfairly underrated painter Camille Pissarro was much more important than we thought, the only participating in all eight Impressionist Halls and the only thing he could boast of friendship is the whole gang impressionist and post-impressionist. Outbreak that when you're friends with everyone in a region as competitive as the artist, you're one step away from being considered a mediocre hearted. And, frankly, know someone who considers Pissarro as his favorite painter? Is not it a bit like the taste of vanilla transferred to the world of painting? All his friends, corner kitchen colleagues and protected, Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Sisley, Seurat, Signac, Van Gogh, Gauguin, even Somina Reno-seem to have much more personality corner kitchen than the star of the function.
So I went to Caixafòrum willing to forgive life Pissarro, a thousand years after it parked drawer painting digestive friendly and no bite. Ah, such are unfair prejudice. In my ignorance, I did not know even who the artist was born in St. Thomas (Virgin Islands) in July 1830, the territory then belonged to Denmark, from which it follows a curious bi-national affiliation.
Pissarro associated with the landscape, especially rural, not lived in vain seventeen Pontoise and the last twenty years of his life Éragny-sur-Epte. In the exhibition there are plenty of these scenes full of greenery and gardens, peasant corner kitchen and a goat with incipient industrialization. They are competent and nice pictures which usually is lacking corner kitchen a touch of genius. Still some pieces stand out above the prevailing correction. If this is the view above, painted Pontoise 1977 "The corner kitchen Côte des Boeuf à l'Hermitage." It is a bigger picture than usual and an interesting set of textures corner kitchen dominated by the vertical lines of the trees, while the reason for the houses in the background is blurred. Pissarro was very proud of this painting corner kitchen and did not ever want to break it. Today is the National Gallery in London.
Another landscape that I like a lot and you can see the CaixaForum (until it returns to Brooklyn) is a view of the path of the Côte du Jalet (again Pontoise, now 1875) shows that the experimental Pissarro juxtaposes large patches of color abstract for a realistic effect. It is easy to see influences of his friend Cezanne, who went on to portray nature and more than two times.
The restless Pissarro, influenced by Seurat and Signac was also a time that is evident in pointillist paintings corner kitchen as atmospheric as "L'Île Lacroix, Rouen" of 1888, now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and to a lesser corner kitchen extent " Charing Cross Bridge "(1890) from the National Gallery corner kitchen in Prague. And, if something serves this exhibition is to make us discover a painter Trellat more than we thought. Who would have thought, given the kindness of his paintings, which Pissarro sympathized with anarchism? In the same museum shop you can find a book with his drawings and texts on social issues that shape the unthinkable related to Millet and Daumier. corner kitchen
I have to break another stereotype about rurality of the artist, the last two rooms of the exhibition are devoted to paintings corner kitchen on urban themes, where Camille Pissarro also shone even more sporadic. I read that at the end of his life he had a problem with the eyes and prolonged could not work outdoors, so these views in the city are characterized by a high viewpoint corner kitchen and behind a glass window. Not so tables are smaller. I leave you to test both cards, a sunny "La Place du Havre, Paris" (1893) Art Institute of Chicago, the other wet "Rue Saint Honore" (1897) from the collection of Tita Cervera.
I went without enthusiasm, just because customers do not pay the boxes. Conclusion: totally recommended, a collection of paintings barely improved, from the four corners of the world. Take the opportunity.
Surely there because at the moment we still think that is the best painter Pissarro to decorate an elevator with elevator music. However, as I like to lift when there are many stairs! Delete Reply
I will not say it is not so, I went away, but every time I see certain exhibits reflect on
