About the Item

H. Claude Pissarro (French, b. 1935), La Rive Gauche du Parc à Enghien, pastel on board, signed lower left, executed circa 1990 — an Impressionist lakeside landscape by the grandson of Camille Pissarro. A certificate of authenticity for this work is available from Lélia Pissarro. A red rowing boat carrying a single figure has just pulled away from the near bank at the lower left, and the wake it leaves is the only movement in an otherwise perfectly still sheet of water. Beyond it the far shore rises in a screen of tall poplars and blossoming trees, with a small white pavilion tucked among them at the water's edge, and the whole bank comes back again in the lake as a dark inverted band shot through with silver. Pissarro works the pastel in dense, separate points of pure colour — turquoise, viridian, lilac, rose and cream over a warm ground — never rubbing or blending, so that the surface holds together as light at viewing distance and breaks into individual marks up close. The single note of vermilion in the boat is what makes the picture: everything else is cool, and that one warm accent sets the entire blue-green field vibrating. It is the divisionist method his grandfather explored in the mid-1880s, applied a century later by a painter who learned it inside the family. H. Claude Pissarro was born at Neuilly-sur-Seine in 1935, the son of the painter Paulémile Pissarro and the grandson of Camille Pissarro, founder of the Impressionist movement. He was taught by his father — who had himself been taught by Claude Monet — and by his uncles Georges Manzana-Pissarro and Ludovic-Rodo Pissarro, an artistic education conducted almost entirely within one remarkable family. He exhibited for the first time at fourteen, was commissioned by the White House in 1959 to paint a portrait of President Eisenhower, and went on to a long parallel career as a professor of art, teaching for many years in France and Monaco. He in turn taught his own daughter, the painter Lélia Pissarro, making four consecutive generations of the family to paint professionally. From 1989 he began signing a separate body of more contemporary work as Hugues Pissarro dit Pomié, reserving the name H. Claude Pissarro for the Impressionist landscapes and figure subjects in which he continues the family tradition. This pastel, signed H. Claude Pissarro, belongs to that Impressionist line. The subject is the lake in the park at Enghien-les-Bains, the spa town just north of Paris. Signed lower left. Sheet 9 x 14 inches (22.9 x 35.6 cm); framed 19 x 24 inches (48.3 x 61 cm). In very good original condition. Provenance: private collection, France. A certificate of authenticity is available from Lélia Pissarro.
