Quotes About Pissarro

His story was almost word for word the same as Caroline Sack's, and hearing it a second time made it plain how remarkable the achievement of the Impressionists really was. They were artistic geniuses. But they were also possessed of a rare wisdom about the world.

Monet, Degas, Cezanne, Renoir, and Pissarro would have gone to their second choice.

Yes, Gecko-Roman dog wrestling. Superb! I presume you haven't shown your wrestling dogs to Madame Lessard, then.
~ Christopher Moore
