Pastel On Card

French Artist H. Claude Pissarro Utilizes His Signature Pastels To Render The Famous Cannebière Boulevard In Marseille In This Colorful Scene. A Bevy Of Multi-Hued Boats Float In The Canal As A Kaleidoscope Of Colorful Buildings Line The Street. Pissarro Expertly Deploys The Pastel To Render The Architectural Edifices And Luxuriant Carefree Beauty Of The Area. La Canebière Is A Historic High Street In The Old Quarter Of Marseille, France. Often Called The Champs-Élysées Of Marseille, This Vibrant And Sunny Composition Perfectly Showcases Pissarro’S Incredible Skill And Unique 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.
