Mia - 'Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.' ― Camille Pissarro Camille Pissarro - Mia Feigelson Gallery The present painting by Camille Pissarro certainly portrays the beauty, serenity and dignity of rural life—the theme that would move the artist to paint for the rest of his career. Julie Pissarro Peeling Vegetables (Julie Pissarro épluchant des légumes), 1878 By Camille Pissarro (Danish-French, 1830-1903) #PissarroPontoise #PissarrosPeople #PissarrosFamily oil on canvas; 46.3 x 55.6 cm (18 1⁄8 x 21 3⁄4 in.) Private Collection Curator's comment: The present work represents the charming, yet humble subject matter for which Camille Pissarro is best known. Seated amid a sun-dappled, flower-filled garden, it depicts Julie Pissarro, the artist’s wife, at their home in Pontoise, north-west of Paris. Peeling vegetables, she is flanked by a lush flower bed, bordered by a rickety fence, which contains a thick pink rose bush in full bloom. Pissarro lived in this picturesque town with his family from 1866 to 1868, and again after the conclusion of the Franco-Prussian War, from 1872 until 1882. The agrarian countryside surrounding Pontoise provided endless inspiration for Pissarro’s sweeping landscape and more intimate figurative paintings; he returned again and again to those fertile fields, grassy hills, agricultural workers and rural homes. Indeed, Pissarro established a professional reputation around this picturesque theme. Pissarro’s Pontoise period coincided with a critical phase of the artist’s career. This decade saw the formation of the Impressionist circle, an independent group of artists who exhibited together in Paris. Pissarro was a vocal advocate for, and the most consistent participant in, these group shows; he submitted significant bodies of work to each of the eight Impressionist exhibitions that took place between 1874 and 1886. The present work was painted in 1878, the interim year between the third exhibition of 1877 and the fourth of 1879. By this time, Pissarro had developed his distinctive painterly style that is much looser in brushwork and brighter in color than his tighter, earthier, Realist pictures of the 1860s. The subject of this painting, Julie Pissarro, née Vellay, was the artist’s wife and the mother of his eight children. Julie gave birth to the artist’s first child, in 1863. The artist married Julie in 1871 after the birth of their third child. Pissarro painted her numerous times, imagining her absorbed in various quiet domestic activities—sewing, reading, shelling peas, or peeling vegetables. Julie’s training with a florist in 1863, no doubt engendered an interest in flowers and plants; she later cultivated a kitchen garden to offset the family’s ongoing financial burdens. This work was purchased from the artist in 1878 by Charles Deudon, a wealthy collector of modern art. After Deudon’s death in 1914, his widow sold his small but important collection, which included the present work. Pissarro’s sale of the present painting to Deudon was facilitated by his friend, the art critic Théodore Duret. Duret was indeed a passionate defender of the Impressionists, and of Pissarro’s work in particular. In 1878, the same year the present work was painted, Duret published Les peintres impressionnistes: Monet, Sisley, Pissarro, Renoir, Berthe Morisot, in which he wrote: 'Yes, I like and admire the art of the Impressionists and I have taken up my pen precisely to explain the reasons for that liking…Pissarro is the Impressionist in whose work we find, in the most pronounced manner, the point of view of purely naturalistic painters… Pissarro’s canvases convey to the highest degree a sensation of space and solitude'. ― Find out more https://bit.ly/3O5KkdQ
