It might be time to revisit him ... your comment, and the comment above, make me think I gave him kind of short shrift.

He was also a painter and draftsman. He worked relentlessly!! He was also brilliant! read avidly , studied yoga, mysticism and practiced sufi for 3 decades.<br />George PISSARRO was an artist ! he cared nothing about the material life and had a lot of integrity. I was his friend from the moment he arrived in NY in the mid seventies until the day he died and i miss the conversations we had about matters that were dear to our hearts: ART and BEING.<br />Adeline www.adelinette.comadelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15506972677908098800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717274106260594383.post-35369002091215119742011-03-22T12:52:47.392-07:002011-03-22T12:52:47.392-07:00I met George Pissarro in New York City in 1983, an...I met George Pissarro in New York City in 1983, and remained his friend till the end of his life. It still saddens me that his genius as a sculptor did not gain renown during his life. <br> <br /><br />George was incredibly prolific; I have wondered what became of his large body of work after his death. He always struggled with penury, somehow managing to find studio spaces as diverse as a basement in Manhattan, a barn on Staten Island, finally, as far as I know, a backyard festival tent. Galerie St. George apparently has some of his work, judging by the comment above, but I see no mention of it on their website.<br><br /><br />George was an amazing talent and personality. I have a set of copies of photos of his work, and will be glad to post pictures if anyone is interested. I would also love to know where his works reside... <br /><br />See http://intuitiveclutch.blogspot.com/William Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236093989312437475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717274106260594383.post-48257613251889913522010-11-12T07:53:29.220-08:002010-11-12T07:53:29.220-08:00I'm sorry but my brother George Pissarro was b...I'm sorry but my brother George Pissarro was born in Lisbon - Portugal and we are a portuguese familly and is very to establish a direct link to the french familly of Camille Pissarro.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209962571870617664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717274106260594383.post-6308809982839686232009-06-30T14:11:34.633-07:002009-06-30T14:11:34.633-07:00George was way more than just a painter and sculpt...George was way more than just a painter and sculptor. And he was a VERY prolific sculptor. Beyond that he was a charming man with a VERY artistic and unique personality. Personally, I would love to own some of his sculptures.

I wrote what I wrote more because I love Camille Pissarro than to pay disrespect to his son. But you're right, I should become better acquainted with George Pissarro's work before running my mouth.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll do a follow-up post!Mary Kunz Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02691118577179541037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6717274106260594383.post-85243700134402136902009-03-27T19:47:00.000-07:002009-03-27T19:47:00.000-07:00I disagree with your comments about George Pissarr...I disagree with your comments about George Pissarro.<BR/><BR/>He was as great a sculptor of stone and wood as Camille Pissarro was a painter.<BR/><BR/>You've seen only a fraction of the great work that George did during his lifetime.<BR/><BR/>Gary Brant, Director<BR/>Galerie St. George<BR/>Staten Island, New York 10301Gary Branthttp://www.galeriestgeorge.comnoreply@blogger.com
