Two portions of the dismantled dust jacket included. 10 x 6 ½, 367 pages, 37 ounces XX [From one portion of the dust jacket] This first publication of Camille Pissarro's weekly letters to his son Lucien, from 1883 to the painter's death in 1903, forms what might well be called A DIARY OF IMPRESSIONISM. Pissarro, named by his contemporaries The Father of Impressionism, ten years older than his comrades, thinks and feels with and for the whole group, and his letters mirror not only his own struggles but the character, work and destiny of the famous men around him: Gauguin, Renoir, Monet, Degas, Cézanne. To the historian, these letters give a wealth of first-hand material, to the artist they reveal the methods and theories of a master, to the average reader they disclose the intimate life, the everyday struggle of a great and at the same time simple, warmhearted and modest man, with a gift not only for the brush, but also for the pen. Pissarro's comments on life, politics and literature are as pungent and interesting as those on art and artists. But it is when he tries to communicate to his son, also a painter, his views on art that these letters take on their highest importance as a unique and illuminating document on Impressionism.
