Lucien Pissarro, the eldest son of Impressionist painter Camille
Pissarro, lived in England in 1883, then in Paris until 1890 when
he finally settled in England. These travels gave rise to a
substantial exchange of letters, most of which have survived.
Camille Pissarro's letters are well known, but Lucien's replies,
which describe the world of post-William Morris London, have
hitherto lacked a full edition. Lucien, also a painter, exhibited
only in the last of the Impressionist exhibitions in Paris; both he
and his father were by then members of the neo-Impressionist group.
To earn a living, Lucien turned to wood engraving, which led to his
printing of rare books, illustrated and printed by him on his
Eragny Press in London. He even ceased to paint for a period. The
technical discussion of the translation of drawings to woodblocks
engraved by Lucien gives a unique insight into the methods
employed, while intimate views are expressed on the work of the
Pissarros' now famous friends - mainly painters, writers or
anarchist theoreticians in Paris, or contemporary painters reacting
to the Pre-Raphaelites and the Private Press movement inspired by
William Morris in England. Advice on painting methods mingle with
views on current art trends, family matters, and the Pissarros'
struggles for recognition and enough money even to post their
letters.
