Description:
Pissaro was the only painter to exhibit in all eight of the Impressionist exhibitions held between 1874 and 1886, and he is often regarded as the "father" of the movement. Pissarro was introduced to Signac and Seurat in 1885, and in the years that followed he began to work in the pointillist style adopted by the Neo-Impressionists. However, few of his pictures can be strictly defined as pointillist. Many of the technical advances made during this phase were redeployed in works dating from the beginning of the 1890s, notably in the series of paintings of Kew Gardens, London, undertaken in 1892.
