Lucien Pissarro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucien Pissarro (1863-1944) was a French painter, printmaker and wood engraver. Eldest son of the impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, he was born in Paris and studied with his father. His works employ techniques of impressionism and its successor, neo-impressionism, but he also exhibited with Les XX.
From 1890 he lived in London, becoming a British citizen in 1916. While in England he was one of the founders of the Camden Town Group of artists. In 1919,[1] he formed the Monarro Group with J.B. Manson as the London Secretary and Theo van Rysselberghe as the Paris secretary, aiming to show artists inspired by Impressionist painters, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro; the group ceased three years later.[2][3]
