Description

Hugues Claude Pissarro
b.1935 | French

Les toits rouges
(The Red Roofs)

Signed “H. Claude Pissarro” (lower right)
Oil on canvas

Capturing the tranquil charm of provincial France, H. Claude Pissarro’s Les toits rouges presents a vibrant cluster of red-roofed houses, rendered with bold color and texture using the artist’s signature impasto technique. In the foreground, a figure rakes hay, evoking the rhythm of rural life. Thick, expressive brushstrokes add tactile richness and dimensionality to the lush landscape. The composition likely pays homage to the artist’s grandfather, the renowned Camille Pissarro, whose own Les toits rouges is housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris.

Hailing from a long lineage of artists, including the Impressionist Camille Pissarro, Pissarro's artistic talents were cultivated early. He exhibited his first works at just 14 years old and later studied in Paris. Like many of his family predecessors, the scope of his work and talent is vast, ranging from engraving to lithography, from publishing to painting. His reputation as a painter quickly spread, resulting in a White House commission in 1959 to paint the portrait of President Eisenhower. While his style has evolved throughout his career, he is best known for his brightly colored Impressionist works.
