Camille Pissarro: Jewish Impressionist Painter

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Camille Pissarro was the only Jewish Impressionist painter, and he was deeply affected by the anti-Semitism he encountered. Curator Karen Levitov discusses the Jewish Museum's new exhibition “Camille Pissarro: Impressions of City and Country,” and how Pissaro expressed his political views in his paintings.

”Camille Pissarro: Impressions of City and Country” will be on display until February 3, 2008. To learn more about the exhibition, visit the Jewish Museum website.
