Pissarro, Christopher Lloyd

Pissarro: Colour Library - Christopher Lloyd

Lovely large format reproductions presented in chronological order, allowing one to trace the development of style and subject matter. For instance, I noticed an abrupt shift (for the better) when Pissarro started working literally side by side. According to the text the influence travelled in both directions. It would be interesting to see if that is equally obvious to me in Cezanne's works.

 

As well as commentary on each featured painting, there is a time-line biography and an introductory essay.
