Good book David A. Marshall If you like Pissarro's earlier landscape work before he got involved in neo-Impressionist stuff, this is pretty much the only book I've seen with a good selection of prints from that period. I wish it were more comprehensive but there are a number of lesser known paintings in here. A few knocked my socks off (such as Houses at Bougival 1870). At his best, he was every bit as good as Cezanne, Monet, and Corot; sometimes better. Its a shame that so many pa. "Pissarro" according to Loretta E. Knight. I found that the book Pissarro was very through and had lots of his work included. I enjoyed it very much.

"The catalogue is a visual treat, as one luscious although not predictably impressionistic landscape after another fills its pages. It is also a very profound work of scholarship…The first catalogue to look so closely at Pissarro’s pre-impressionistic years, his experimental techniques during this time, and the profound impact place had on his painting of landscapes, it is recommended for academic, public, and special libraries supporting an art history collecting program." --Jennifer H Pollack, Library Journal
