Claude Pissarro, grandson of the 19th century French impressionist Camille Pissarro, is the third generation standard bearer of the Pissarro line of painters. Camille Pissarro was recognized not only for his artistic talent, but for his innate teaching abilities as well. Among his many pupils were his own five sons and Paul Cezanne. Lucien and Paul Emile Pissarro, H. Claude's uncle and father, both became important figures in the post-impressionist school of painting. H. Claude Pissarro was born in 1935 in the fashionable western section of Paris, Neuilly-sur-Seine, and began to draw and paint as a young child under his father's tutelage. During his adolescence and early twenties he studied the works of the great masters at the Muse du Louvre and the Muse du Jeu de Paume under the supervision of his father and uncles. Guided by their skill and knowledge, young Pissarro gradually developed and refined his own style and technique. Condition: Very Fine
