'Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers' - Charles W.Eliot
Artist: Camille Pissarro Author: Christopher Lloyd Publisher: Rizzoli Date: 1981 Condition: The first edition hardback, complete with unclipped original dust wrapper over pale blue boards, retaining the original Skira card slipcase. There is one very small area of loss to the edge of the wrapper caused by abrasion within the slipcase, otherwise this is a very clean and tidy copy within and without. Illustrated in colour and black and white throughout.
Written by a major art historian and notable Pissarro scholar, this book offers a fantastic and well-illustrated overview of the life and work of one of the central figures of impressionism. Extremely readable and informative.
