Description
In the work "The sentence du chou - near Pontoise" (1878), Camille Pissarro offers a respite to nature that surrounds it. This painting is at the cusp of the impressionist movement, which sought to capture light and color with an immediacy that previous artists could not achieve. The landscape, an authentic celebration of the rural environment near Pontoise, introduces us to a world where vibrant colors and loose execution seem to be dictated by the ephemeral dance of light and shadow.
Pissarro, as one of the founders of impressionism, seeks to represent the reality of his time with a particular approach in agricultural life and the landscapes of the Normandy region and, later, of Pontoise. The spectator is received by an earthy path that winds between lush vegetation, often symbol of fertility and life, and that leads to a bottom of leafy trees. These elements of the composition create a sense of depth and movement that invites contemplation and the visual walk.
The colors in "the sentence du chou" are particularly notable; The intense green of vegetation, which vary in tones, contrast with the warm and terrible tones of the road. Pissarro uses a rich palette, where the yellow and golden tones of the sun are intertwined with the greens, giving the painting a luminosity that remembers the fragility of the present moment. The loose and visible brushstroke technique even more emphasizes this quality, giving a vibrant texture to the canvas that captures the essence of the landscape rather than its literal representation.
In the work, attention focuses more on the landscape than on the human figure, although there is the suggestion that there is work in view in the agricultural environment. This is typical of Pissarro, who found beauty in the laborious details of rural life. The presence of a farmer or his tools in the background is intuited, but is not clearly exhibited; Instead, the deep sense of rural life is what prevails, a phenomenon that reflects the integration of the human being with its natural environment.
It is interesting to note that "the sentence du chou" was created in a crucial period in the career of Pissarro, when the artist was in a state of continuous search of his own style and how to integrate his socialist ideas into his art. Pissarro was a fervent defender of peasant life and a way of representing the world in which the humble work and agricultural economy were worthy of attention. By diverting the look at the portraits of the upper class and focusing his focus on the field, he contributed to a more inclusive movement that venerated the work of the working classes.
When observing this painting, The spectator is not only with a representation of nature, but also with a testimony of socio -political changes in France during the nineteenth century, which Pissarro knew how to capture and transmit through its art. In "the sentence du chou - near Pontoise", the dialogue between man and nature becomes a visual meditation on the place that the human being occupies in the vast network of life, a thread that Pissarro intertwines with a master's degree in Each line of your brush. This work exemplifies its indisputable mastery in the use of color and light, solidifying its position as a pioneer of impressionism and a chronicler of its time.
