The National Gallery– Lesser Known Impressionists

Some of the lesser known Impressionists are some of the most interesting, for example Seurat and Pissarro. In general they tend to be more abstract in their renderings, and in the case of Pissaro he’s using a pointillistic technique. This is a seascape from Port-en-Bessin in Normandy done in 1888. Contrast that with this seascape by Pissarro in 1890.

But Pissarro was also quite capable of being more ‘representational’ as this painting of the Fence from 1872 shows.
