Pissarro: Father Of Impressionism, 2022 | Directed by David Bickerstaff, UK, 94 mins, English, French, Hebrew & English subtitles
Without Camille Pissarro, there is no Impressionist movement. Born in the West Indies, Pissarro found his passion in paint as a young man in Paris and, by the age of 43, had corralled a group of enthusiastic artists into a new collective. Their first show was scorned by the critics, but the group had acquired a new name: the Impressionists. For the next forty years, Pissarro was the driving force behind what has become the world’s favorite artistic movement.
Pissarro was a dedicated family man, generous with his advice, passionate about experimentation, well-read, socially aware, and an anarchist. He forged a dramatic path in life and, through it all, wrote extensively to his family. It is through these intimate and revealing letters that this gripping film reveals Pissarro’s life and work.
