Pissarro's philosophy on painting...

Despite the editorial review ("Pissarro's weekly letters to his son Lucien, covering the dramatic period of Impressionism from 1883 to the painter's death in 1905")-- Pissarro died in 1903, and by 1883 the era of Impressionism was about over; Pissarro, Renior, and even Monet had abandoned the technique by this time-- this is a marvelous insight into the mind of one of the most influential painters of all time.
