Camille Pissarro: paintings. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Richard Donaldson   -  Richard Donaldson, 2015  - 

Known as the "Father of Impressionism", Pissarro painted rural and urban French life, particularly landscapes, as well as scenes from Montmartre. Pissarro offer substantial contributions to Impressionist theory and also managed to remain on friendly, mutually respectful terms with such difficult personalities as Edgar Degas, Cezanne and Gauguin. Pissarro exhibited at all 8 of the Impressionist exhibitions. He was even so a primary developer of Impressionist technique. Pissarro experimented with Neo-Impressionist ideas between 1885 and 1890. Discontented with what he referred to as "romantic Impressionism," he investigated Pointillism which he called "scientific Impressionism" before returning to a purer Impressionism in the last decade of his life. During his lifetime, Camille Pissarro sold few of his paintings.

William Blake drawings. E-book. Formato Mobipocket Richard Donaldson   -  Richard Donaldson, 2015  - 

William Blake was English Romantic artist, draftsman, engraver, philosopher, and poet. He possessed visionary powers and in art as in life was an individualist who made a standard of nonconformity. Blake had a prejudice against painting in oils on canvas and experimented with a variety of techniques in color printing, illustration, and tempera. His work as an artist is almost impossible to divorce from the complex philosophy expressed also through his poetry. He believed that the visible world of the senses is an unreal envelope behind which the spiritual reality is masked. He refused the easy path of abstraction and foggy suggestion, remaining content with nothing less than the maximum of clarity and perfection. To most of his generation Blake seemed merely a strange, and his genius was not in general recognized until the second half of the 19th century.
