La Plage À Pornichet
(The Beach At Pornichet)

Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (Lower Right)
Pastel On Card

French Artist H. Claude Pissarro Utilizes His Signature Pastels To Render The Picturesque Seaside Of The Beautiful French Coastal Town Of Pornichet. Captured In A Captivating Variety Of Vivid Pigments, Pissarro Draws Tall Beach Grasses, Shady Cabanas And Casual Beachgoers With Red-Roofed Structures And The Boundless Coast In The Distance. This Sunny Summertime Seaside Composition Perfectly Showcases Pissarro’S Incredible Mastery Over The Medium Of Pastel And His Unique And At Times Nostalgic Artistic Point Of View.

Hailing From A Long Lineage Of Artists, Including Impressionist Camille Pissarro, Pissarro’S Artistic Talents Were Cultivated At An Early Age. He Exhibited His First Works At The Young Age Of 14 And Later Studied In Paris At The École Du Louvre And École Normale Supérieure. A 1959 White House Commission To Paint The Portrait Of President Eisenhower Cemented His Reputation As An Artist Of Renown, And His Work Has Since Been Featured In Important Exhibitions Throughout Europe And The United States. While His Style Has Evolved Throughout His Career, He Is Best Known For His Energetic Pastel Compositions. H. Claude Pissarro’S Works Have Been Exhibited And Collected Throughout The World, And They Remain Highly Coveted For Their Intimate Size And Relatable Subject Matter.
