ABSTRACT PISSARRO shows why this well-loved Impressionist artist was much more than we imagined Camille Pissarro's early paintings daring, radical, and uncompromising--defied the Paris Salon and subverted academic art--flaunting his rough brushstrokes, blatantly placing pure colors side-by-side with no transition tones, choosing unappealing motifs, using patches of color to create forms, pressing structures into flattened planes, and ignoring perspective when it pleased him.
He was the first to.
