Page "Camille Pissarro" Paragraph 52

In 1884, art dealer Theo van Gogh asked Pissarro if he would take in his older brother, Vincent, as a boarder in his home.

According to Pissarro ’ s son Lucien, his father was impressed by Van Gogh ’ s work and had “ foreseen the power of this artist ”, who was 23 years younger.

Although Van Gogh never boarded with him, Pissarro did explain to him the various ways of finding and expressing light and color, ideas which he later used in his paintings, notes Lucien.
