Pissarro: the Evolution of an Impressionist, 1864-1874 will feature fifty paintings, beginning with works exhibited at the Paris Salons of the 1860s and concluding with a selection of his stunning entries to the first Impressionist exhibition in 1874. 214 pages 294 x 245mm | 90 colour illustrations | hardback ISBN 0 85667 630 6 EAN 978 0 85667 630 7  [View provisional pages in PDF format] Online price: £27.50 / €41.25 This fully illustrated scholarly catalogue will include essays by Ms. Rothkopf, BMA, Senior Painting Conservator Mary Sebera, and the distinguished Pissarro expert Christopher Lloyd, until recently Keeper of the Queen's Pictures in London. There will also be entries on all of the works in the exhibition. A distinguished group of national and international loans will reveal Pissarro's artistic journey, starting with Path by the River (1864), a seminal painting in the BMA collection, and culminating with Street in Pontoise, Winter (1873), a major snowscape now owned by Ann Getty. While Pissarro's artistic achievements are well known, this exhibition and book will provide an opportunity to examine a critical ten-year period of his work that laid the groundwork for an entire generation of painters. Pissarro's career has been surveyed in retrospectives; his place in Impressionism and Post-Impressionism has been explored in group exhibitions; and, currently, his relationship with Paul Cézanne is chronicled in a show at New York's Museum of Modern Art. In contrast, Pissarro: the Evolution of an Impressionist, 1864-1874 will focus on his landscapes exclusively and offer a fresh perspective on the most revolutionary period of his career
