...commenting upon the exhibition on display last week at Paris' Durand-Ruel Gallery, Critic Pierre Cabanne of the weekly Arts neatly summed up the fate of Impressionist Camille Pissarro.

At first glance, Pissarro's work does seem to lack the dazzle of his colleagues', but after longer study, the full truth emerges. Far from lacking the virtues of the others, he had them...
Error of Imitation. The Durand-Ruel exhibition shows him once again embodying all the currents of the great stream of impressionism. In his early paintings of peasants, there are the same firm, sharply outlined bodies that, in greatly developed form, became the hallmark of Renoir.

The price for the painting was $95,000, but the gallery was willing to sell it on the installment plan. By last week the museum had collected from private gifts two-thirds...
