Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, 1830-1903, will have his work on view at the San Francisco Legion of Honor Museum until January 2012. The exhibit called “Pissarro’s People”, features mostly portraits of the people that surrounded him, rather than his famous landscapes. 
“Pissarro’s People celebrates the painter’s humanism in all its aspects and brings together nearly 100 works of art, including some 37 paintings and numerous works on paper made over the course of his entire career. Highlights include portraits of the artist’s friends and family as well as notable genre scenes set in the fields and marketplaces of rural France. Pissarro’s paintings of townspeople, peasants, and farm workers stress their individuality rather than their mythic qualities…”
