Camille Pissarro(1830-1903) was the only painter who participated in all Impressionist Exhibitions from the first to the eighth.
Pissarro's landscapes are calm and beautiful, painting light and ordinary life in a gentle manner. While, in the late 19th century, there were several social problems like environmental pollution and poverty. Therefore, the painter has continually looked at reality, in order to represent it without sentimentalization, and pursued an ideal that reconcile human beings with the Nature.
This exhibition marks the 10th anniversary of Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art. It reviews Impressionist expressions with Pissarro's works as the core. Over 100 works will be exhibited, including about 90 Pissarros both from Japan and around the world, as well as works by Monet and Renoir, et al.
