Often called “the first impressionist,” the Danish-French painter Camille Pissarro was a touchstone for his artistic peers. “He was a father for me,” said Paul Cézanne. “A man to consult and a little like the good Lord.” Pissarro was known for bringing humanity to his landscapes and rural scenes, which focused on peasants and their work. And while he contributed greatly to the growth and success of the Impressionist movement, Pissarro retained his interest in the stoicism of the common man, preferring not to take up the bourgeoisie and their pleasures. The first major U.S. retrospective of Pissarro’s paintings in over 40 years, this show surveys his oeuvre, his influences, and his influence. —Maggie Turner
