landscape was painted in 1884, when Camille Pissarro, already in 1870 spurned the principles of academic painting, completely dedicated his creativity fleeting impressions and effects of nature, expressing the credo of the Impressionists. In 1882 the artist lived and worked in the town Eran, having created over 20 years, more than 200 paintings and hundreds of watercolors and drawings. During this period, most of all he was interested in light - in this case, the soft, opalescent, scattered in the mist. And one of the most popular motifs of the artist was a hillside, overgrown with trees.

By 1892 Camille Pissarro has already experimenting with pointillism and neo-Impressionism, and then returned to the" classic "Impressionism. But this experience has enriched the art of the artist - his palette became brighter and bolder style.

Landscape "Pond at Kew, written in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, was exhibited in 1893 year with Paul Durand-Ruelle, Paris, Marchand, insistently teaches the audience a taste for the new art. It is this retrospective exhibition finally broke prejudice the public - and works by Camille Pissarro began to buy.

«Bridge in Bio" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir - this later work of the great impressionist, at the end of the century who fled the cold for him in Paris to the south of France, where he created a sun-filled, intense color landscapes. From 1908 the artist, though suffering from rheumatism, but do not lose the ability to enjoy life and confidently hold a brush, and settled on the estate under the borough Kang, where he set up this kind.

For a very different time period in twentieth century art is painting" The Two Character "modernist Jean Dubuffet in 1981 - the inventor of the term Art-Brut -« rough art ", which confused and deliberate non-artistic, rudeness materials (such as slag or gypsum), and sharp, "barbaric" paintings, based on the art of primitive peoples, the mentally ill, or street art. Together with Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti, he changed the public perception of this art, reflecting the brutality of the second half of the twentieth century.

presented at the auction fresco Fernand Leger refers to the period of his work after his return to France from exile in the United States during the Second World War.

However, the picture presented was written much earlier - when the young artist has studied first at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, and later in St. Petersburg at Ilya Repin . In his letter to Marianne Verevkina recalled that during this period - despite the fact that her works were exhibited at the Academy of Fine Arts, and on the "Wanderers, and it was called" Russian Rembrandt "- it felt like a stranger in the world of realism and the world of salon romanticism.
