Quote

Image
I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air!
Camille Pissarro
Image
Everything is beautiful, all that matters is to be able to interpret.
Camille Pissarro
Image
At times I come across works of mine which are soundly done and really in my style, and at such moments I find great solace.
Camille Pissarro
Image
Cover the canvas at the first go, and then work on till you see nothing more to add ... Don't proceed according to rules and principles, but paint what you observe and feel. Paint generously and unhesitatingly, for it is best not to lose the first impression.
Camille Pissarro
Image
Painting, art in general, enchants me. It is my life. What else matters? When you put all your soul into a work, all that is noble in you, you cannot fail to find a kindred soul who understands you, and you do not need a host of such spirits. Is not that all an artist should wish for?
Camille Pissarro
Image
It is absurd to look for perfection.
Camille Pissarro
Image
I think when one has talent one finally breaks through so don't pass up any opportunity to do some work.
Camille Pissarro
Image
It does not astonish me that the critics in London relegate me to the lowest rank. Alas! I fear that they are only too justified!
Camille Pissarro
Image

Camille Pissarro
Image
God takes care of imbeciles, little children and artists.
Camille Pissarro
Image
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
Camille Pissarro
Image
Don't be afraid in nature: one must be bold, at the risk of having been deceived and making mistakes.
Camille Pissarro
Image
It is the brushwork of the right value and color which should produce the drawing.
Camille Pissarro
Image
Don't be afraid of putting on color, refine the work little by little.
Camille Pissarro
Image
When you do a thing with your whole soul and everything that is noble within you, you always find your counterpart.
Camille Pissarro
Image
I began to understand my sensations, to know what I wanted, at around the age of forty - but only vaguely.
Camille Pissarro

Paint the essential character of things.
