...British colleagues, is tired of it, remembers so much that he cannot recall what is important. He pays tribute to the race of Britain's foreign correspondents which largely disappeared with the 1920's: Wickham Steed, George Ward Price, Martin Donohoe, William Bolitho Ryall, Gordon Knox, Sisley Huddleston. Mournfully he adds...
Painting hard, occasionally exhibiting, Camille Pissarro soon joined a group of artists including Manet, Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cezanne and Sisley who used to meet at a café known as Le Guerbois, on the Avenue de Clichy. In the oceans of talk at that café, the group gradually evolved theories of painting.

The cellars of Durand-Ruel et Cie in Paris and New York still contain untold treasures of their works...
...south of France. His first job was painting copies of 18th Century French pictures on fans and window shades for a Paris factory. Before he was 25 he knew most of the men who were to be his lifelong friends and associates in Impressionism: Monet, Cézanne, Sisley, Pissarro, Diaz. He enlisted in the cavalry for the Franco-Prussian war, but nothing happened to him. Very little happened to him all his life. He was a painter's painter, passionately interested in the technique of his craft, with a lusty sensuousness that has caused Collector Barnes to compare...
