MILWAUKEE.- The Milwaukee Art Museum opened the exhibit Pissarro: Creating the Impressionist Landscape through September 9. This exhibition will explore the remarkable transformation of Camille Pissarro's landscape paintings over the course of an important decade in his career, from 1864 to 1874. During this time, he moved from being a student of the Barbizon school to becoming one of the leaders of the emerging Impressionist movement. This critical period of his evolution as an artist laid the groundwork for an entire generation of painters, many of whom were influenced by his experimental techniques and vision. The exhibition will include approximately 50 paintings, ranging from his Salon compositions from the 1860s to a selection of his entries for the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. Through these canvases, visitors will be able to see the development of Pissarro's painting technique, palette, and subject matter during a brief, yet intense period of his long and fruitful career.
