I arrived at the Clark Museum to speak about my novel the week after they took down their exquisite exhibit Pissarro's People, but I did get a copy of the excellent exhibition book. I was particularly struck at how much he loved his children and with what an atmosphere of unconditional love he raised them. He lost three of them before his own death; Jeanne, called Minette (shown right), died when she was nine. There are many portraits of her, from an enchanting little girl to a somber and sickly one. I don't know how she died or if any record is left. It was devastating for Pissarro and his wife.The exhibition book is a fine portrait of the man as well as the painter...this most tender, humble painter! I would have loved to have known him.
Here's wishing you a wonderful Christmas. wishing you Love, Health, Happiness and Prosperty for the year 2012.
