Pissarro invokes awe and change
BALTIMORE - In one critical decade, 19th-century artist Camille Pissarro revolutionized painting. Pissarro's transformation from traditional landscape painter to Impressionist pioneer is the focus of the Baltimore Museum of Art's upcoming exhibit, Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist. For the unprecedented look at the artist's metamorphosis, the BMA curators secured 45 works from nine private collections and international museums, including three paintings from Tel Aviv Museum of Art in Israel. The exhibit includes both small-scale paintings and larger works that were first revealed at 1860s salon exhibitions and the first Impressionist show in 1874. Pissarro's “Strollers on a Country Road" — permanently on display at the BMA — inspired Katy Rothkopf, curator of European Painting and Sculpture, to investigate Pissarro's evolution.
