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.

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.
