Self-portrait
Camille Pissarro • Painting, 1873, 73×50 cm
Description of the artwork «Self-portrait»
The first in the history of painting, the artist-the Jew* a Spaniard , a Dominican, he is known as a French impressionist painter. It is sincerely loved and respected by all friends, artists and writers, regardless of temperament and artistic principles. He possessed an enviable inner core, a particular strength of spirit and character and must be the Golden shadow – the stars of impressionism were those who worked with him and who he has priznakami with each other.
This self-portrait written in a time when Pissarro opens to the French Cezanne. Invites the young artist, whom nobody takes seriously, to his house, strongly recommends the inclusion of his works in the exhibitions of the Impressionists, and gives the Field the lessons which he will never forget.
For both artists it was a time of change the style and cross-fertilization of artistic ideas. Learning Pissarro-Cezanne to model the amount of color and work through the song, and Cezanne finally admits light to my palette and gets rid of the black.
Your self-portrait Pissarro writes as well as if it were hill in PONTOISE or road receding into the distance in Louveciennes. Not the water and not swaying the trees that change shape from wind gusts, and a kind of unshakable solidity, whose mood changes, but the essence is unchanged. Here is the same subtle play of sunlight, the same short strokes and a sense of the living world.
It should be understood that Pissarro in 1873, only 43 years, the war is over, and the first exhibition of the Impressionists will take place only after a year. This is a time of hope and daring experimentation, a time when the old principles and standards bursting at the seams. And Pissarro, He was always a wise elder, hill, rock and road.
*The Jews have a prohibition on the depiction of visual images: "thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image of anything in heaven above, on earth beneath or in the water under the earth", the second commandment. In the synagogues you will not find any frescoes or sculptures. British art critic Waldemar Januszczak believes that to Pissarro none of the Jews, this prohibition is not violated, but because to him was not-Jewish artists.
