Camille Pissarro: The Studio Of Modernism

Exhibition at the Kunstmuseum, Basel, 04 September 2021 - 23 January 2022

As one of the founding figures of Impressionism, Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) exerted considerable influence over the movement's other members, such as Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin, Edgar Degas, and Mary Cassatt.

This exhibition catalogue focuses on Pissarro's collaborations with these and other artists. It also celebrates the avant-garde quality of his painting, particularly in his contributions to Neo-Impressionism. Focusing on his role in the revolutionary Impressionist movement of the 1870s, the volume traces Pissarro's work in dialog with his fellow artists, particularly Cezanne and Gauguin, and reveals his influence on works by Alfred Sisley, Georges Seurat, Paul Signac and others.
