Pissarro's weekly letters to his son Lucien, covering the dramatic
period of Impressionism from 1883 to the painter's death in 1905,
form what might be called a diary of the Impressionist school. In
these wise, reflective, warmhearted missives, Pissarro, called the
father of Impressionism, presents the growth and development of
Impressionism and the struggles of its practitioners, as well as
pungent and evocative observations on the politics, literature, and
daily life of France in the late 19th century. But more than
anything, these letters reveal an artist elucidating the inner
resources of his craft: Lucien Pissarro, a contemporary of van
Gogh, Seurat, and Toulouse-Lautrec, was himself a student of
painting, and it was to the young artist above all that his father
communicated the unique and illuminating perspectives on art
contained in these documents. Brilliantly annotated and introduced
by the renowned art historian John Rewald, and featuring a new
preface by Barbara Stern Shapiro, Curator for Special Projects at
the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, this edition of the Letters
restores to print one of the most intimate and enjoyable views ever
offered of the Impressionist period.
Lionel Abel succeeds in entertaining us with great stories about
the artists and writers in Greenwich Village and Paris in the 1930s
and 40s, and at the same time in shrewdly exposing the moral and
political consequences of literary and artistic modernism. The
Intellectual Follies is a fascinating memoir on an important
subject. Gertrude Himmelfarb"
