Lot Essay

THE YEARS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE NEO-IMPRESSIONIST EXHIBITION OF 1885 AT THE SALON DES INDéPENDANTS WERE A PERIOD OF ARTISTIC EVOLUTION FOR PISSARRO IN WHICH HE UNDERWENT A 'PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION'. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT HE ADOPTED THE NEO-IMPRESSIONISTIC TECHNIQUE OF POINTILLISM, A STYLE WHICH HE CONTINUED TO EMBRACE AND DEVELOP THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER.
