Mit offenem Blick. Der Impressionist Pissarro

In the organizer's words:

Camille Pissarro is considered the founding figure of the Impressionist movement in France. His artistic beginnings lay in the Caribbean and South America. These roots were combined with a painterly interest in everyday rural scenes and sympathies for anarchism.
Pissarro's motifs are often simple, their tone quiet. It is only at second glance that the charm of their carefully observed details and carefully coordinated harmonies is revealed, which arises from the artist's respectful, idealistic attitude, his openness and his joy of experimentation. The variety of subjects in his paintings includes landscapes and gardens, family portraits, scenes of rural life or urban motifs such as the ports of Normandy or the bustling streets of Paris.

Based on the seven paintings by Pissarro in the Hasso Plattner Collection, Mit offenem Blick. The Impressionist Pissarro provides a well-founded overview of Pissarro's entire oeuvre with over 100 works from 50 international collections and at the same time shows the social utopian ideas of his art. In addition to the Denver Art Museum as a cooperation partner of the show, numerous renowned US collections have been acquired as lenders, including the Art Institute of Chicago, the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, the Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Gallery Washington and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Other international lenders include the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, Ordrupgaard, Copenhagen, the Szépművészeti Múzeum, Budapest, the Courtauld and the National Gallery, London, and the Gallery of Ontario, Toronto.

In collaboration with the Denver Art Museum, where the exhibition will be shown from October 26, 2025 to February 8, 2026.
