A breath of fresh air 🍂


Camille Pissarro died #OnThisDay in 1903. His painting of 'Fox Hill, Upper Norwood' is one of 12 surviving pictures that he painted while living in London from late 1870 to mid-1871. He and his family arrived in early December 1870 and settled briefly in the south London village.



The winter of his arrival was particularly cold, enabling Pissarro to continue painting the type of winter landscapes he had produced in France in the winter of 1868. 'Fox Hill, Upper Norwood' is perhaps the first picture he painted in London. One of the more rural scenes of the group, we see a simple road flanked by houses, chimney smoke merging with the clouds. Three people, two women and a man in a top hat with a walking stick, pass each other, their wintry attire matching the shrubbery and bare trees: https://bit.ly/353NAwu

Tonight's Art Moment is "Market at Pointoise" by Camille Pissarro, 1895. From 1883 onward, Pissarro frequently portrayed small-town and rural markets. He was probably drawn to the subject through his left-wing political views, which praised the virtues of rural life over that of urban industry. Here, Pissarro captured the bustling market in Pontoise, the small village where he’d lived since 1871. The dense network of brushstrokes unifies the painting’s surface and ref lects Pissarro’s search for greater stability in his art during the last decade of his life. Not on view.

我認為他們的勤學和從做中學習，或許可以用一則比喻來說明 --摘取一段 Camille Pissarro. （ 1830-1903）和其老師Jean Baptiste Camille Corot（1796–1875）的對話：





「……從畫天空開始是符合邏輯的，色彩和潤飾使一個人的作品增添魅力。」
「啊，魅力。那是無法下定義的。一個藝術家能這樣說嗎，『現在我將使我的作品動人？』」
「魅力的浮現，畢沙羅，是你和大自然同居的產兒。」
「我感到……尚未準備好。」


「想準備好，唯一的辦法是動手幹。」（ Irving Stone（1985 ）『光榮的深度：畢沙羅傳記小說』（Depth of Glory: A Biographical Novel of Camille Pissarro. ）（劉明毅譯，上海人民美術出版社，1988， p.49）2008.7

「研究並掌握了從天空反射而來的光線如何微妙地改變並統一我們的視覺環境。而且畢沙羅理解得非常正確，以至於他的最好的作品觸發了我所談到的整體認知的體驗……。」

Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on blogger Share on friendster Share on digg More Sharing Services 4 LONDON.- Sotheby’s announces that it will bring to auction for the first time ever an exceptional, museum-quality painting by Camille Pissarro, Boulevard Montmartre, matinée de printemps of 1897. One of the most important Impressionist masterworks to come to auction in the last decade, the painting was originally owned by Max Silberberg, a Jewish industrialist based in Breslau, who assembled one of the finest pre-war collections of 19th and 20th Century art in Germany. Forced by the Nazis to sell his entire collection, he later died in the Holocaust. The painting was restituted in 2000 to Max Silberberg’s family and will now be offered at auction in Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on 5th February 2014 with an estimate of £7-10 million. Helena Newman, Chairman of Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art Department Europe, said: “It is an honour to be entrusted with offering the greatest work by Camille Pissarro ever to appear at auction – a work that encompasses such a richly painted canvas and a supremely elegant composition. The appeal of these extremely desirable attributes to discerning collectors is enhanced by the painting’s history of having been housed in a collection as important as Max Silberberg’s. With the enduring demand for Impressionist masterpieces – particularly works of such rarity as this work by Pissarro - we anticipate interest from around the globe.” Max Silberberg A prominent member of the business community in Breslau, and a generous patron of Jewish causes, Max Silberberg assembled an art collection that included magnificent examples of classic French Impressionism by Manet, Monet, Renoir and Sisley, as well as masterpieces of Realism and Post-Impressionism including several works by Delacroix and Courbet alongside paintings by Cézanne and van Gogh. He acquired works directly from prominent artists with whom he established strong friendships – including Max Liebermann – as well as from some of the greatest galleries and dealers, including Paul Rosenberg and Georges Bernheim. At the time he was ranked as a collector alongside Andrew Mellon, Jakob Goldschmidt and Mortimer Schiff, and his collection gained international renown. The collection was well published and works from it were in demand for exhibitions around the world, and as late as 1933 his paintings were generously loaned for shows in Vienna and New York. By 1935 Max Silberberg was forced to relinquish his public roles, his company was Aryanised and sold and his house was acquired by the SS. The collector was compelled to consign most of his wonderful collection at a series of auctions at Paul Graupe’s auction house in Berlin in 1935 and 1936 (including Boulevard Montmartre). In 1938 his son Alfred was arrested on Kristallnacht and taken to the Buchenwald concentration camp. Alfred was permitted to return home a few days later on the condition that he depart the country immediately. Max Silberberg and his wife Johanna, however, were deported to Theresienstadt and then to Auschwitz in 1942. Their son had both his parents declared dead in 1945. The Restitution of Boulevard Montmartre, matinée de printemps The opening of German archives in the 1990s shed light on the identity of individuals affected by the ‘Jewish auctions’ in which German Jews were forced to sell their possessions at below-value sums. Many heirs of Holocaust victims were suddenly able to seek the recovery of works of art and other valuables that were taken by the Nazis. Alfred Silberberg had emigrated to England with his wife Gerta, and while he had passed away in March 1984, she survived him and took up the search for the artworks that had belonged to her father-in-law prior to the Nazi era. In 1999, Gerta became the first British relative of a Holocaust victim to recover a work of art under the Washington Conference Principles on Nazi-looted art. An exquisite calligraphic drawing of an olive grove by Van Gogh, L’Olivette (Les Baux), Olive groves with Les Alpilles in the background had found its way from Max Silberberg’s collection into that of the National Gallery of Berlin – testament to its outstanding quality – where it remained until its history came to light, at which point the museum was instrumental in its prompt restitution, a landmark case in Germany. The work was sold at Sotheby’s in December 1999 for £5.3 million – then a record price for a pen and ink drawing by the artist. At the time, Mrs Silberberg said, “Obviously, I have no wish to receive the pictures myself. I wish to continue to live modestly and quietly for my remaining years”. Proceeds from the sale helped fund the search for further works of art that had belonged to her father-in-law, and the drawing was gifted by the buyer to the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Boulevard Montmartre, matinée de printemps, one of the most important works in Max Silberberg’s original collection, had also made its way into an important museum collection. Following its forced auction in Berlin in 1935, the work passed through a number of hands until its sale in 1960 to John and Frances L. Loeb. In 1985 the Loebs promised the painting to The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, in honour of its Founder Teddy Kollek and on the occasion of its 20th Anniversary, and bequeathed it to the American Friends of the Israel Museum in 1997. Following a four-month period of intensive research, undertaken jointly by the museum and by representatives of Gerta Silberberg in 1999, the work was restituted to Gerta Silberberg in 2000. In appreciation of the museum’s exemplary and groundbreaking efforts on her behalf, Mrs Silberberg loaned the painting back to the museum, where it remained on display for the remainder of her life. (Gerta Silberberg passed away earlier this year.) The Importance of Boulevard Montmartre, matinée de printemps in Pissarro’s Oeuvre Camille Pissarro’s series paintings of Paris are among the supreme achievements of Impressionism, taking their place alongside Monet’s series of Rouen Cathedral and the later waterlilies. He worked methodically for over two months on his Boulevard Montmartre series and held this particular painting in especially high esteem, writing to his dealer Durand-Ruel, ‘I have just received an invitation from the Carnegie Institute for this year’s exhibition: I’ve decided to send them the painting Boulevard Montmartre, matinée de printemps… So please do not sell it’*. Pissarro’s series of paintings of Paris executed in the last years of the 1890s were hugely significant achievements that brilliantly evoke the excitement and spectacle of the city at the fin-de-siècle. For an artist who throughout his earlier career was primarily celebrated as a painter of rural life rather than the urban environment, the Boulevard Montmartre series was among a small group that confirmed his position as the preeminent painter of the City. The artist was able to exploit the artistic possibilities presented by the new urban landscape of Paris that Haussmann’s renovations to the city had created. He extolled the artistic possibilities in a letter to his son Lucien: ‘It may not be very aesthetic, but I’m delighted to be able to have a go at Paris streets, which are said to be ugly, but are [in fact] so silvery, so bright, so vibrant with life […] they’re so totally modern!’ ** Pissarro’s views of Paris focused principally on the new vistas, which not only proved highly successful artistically but also critically and commercially, since the extensive grid of straight roads, avenues and boulevards was the setting for a burgeoning middle-class, whose appetite for modern painting far outstripped that of the established aristocracy. *Letter from the artist to Paul Durand-Ruel, quoted in Joachim Pissarro & Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts **Letter from the artist to his son, Lucien Pissarro, 15th December 1897, quoted in Joachim Pissarro & Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, Pissarro, Critical Catalogue of Paintings, Paris, 2005, published in 3 volumes

Paris in the winter of 1879: the streets are icy, the sunlight barely penetrates the dark clouds and an icy wind blows. The artist Jacob Abraham Camille Pissarro made the French capital the subject of his paintings. Until his death he drew Paris in all its facets.
