保羅‧塞尚稱卡密爾‧畢沙羅為「第一位印象主義的藝術家」。在1874年至1886年間舉辦的八次印象派畫展中，畢沙羅是唯一堅持印象派的理念與實踐、從未缺席的畫家。誠如塞尚所說，「謙遜而傑出」的畢沙羅是印象派的創始者也是印象派最忠實的代表者。畢沙羅的創作生涯貫穿巴比松畫派到印象畫派，代表了十九世紀現代繪畫的主流。他不僅可與莫內、竇加相提並論，也是備受年輕後進尊崇的良師益友，塞尚、高更、梵谷乃至年輕時的馬諦斯都受過他的引導與影響。
「印象-畢沙羅」的展品來自於英國牛津大學阿胥莫林美術館的收藏。該美術館擁有全球最完整的畢沙羅素描與水彩畫。本展以畢沙羅的油畫、素描、版畫及信件為主軸，並包括他的三位畫家兒子路西安、菲力克斯、路德維奇－魯道夫與孫女奧蘿維妲的作品。同時，為了將畢沙羅的成就與影響力置於十九世紀法國藝術的脈絡之中，本展覽亦展出具有代表性的巴比松畫派藝術家，及畢沙羅的印象派同儕之作品。在超過四十年的創作生涯中，畢沙羅以開放的心胸廣為吸收其他藝術家的觀念與技法並加以創新，因此他經歷了多次創作風格的轉變。本展覽以「風景‧畢沙羅」、「農情‧畢沙羅」、「家族‧畢沙羅」等三個主題之關聯，完整呈現印象派發展的脈絡及畢沙羅多樣風格的演進。
The renowned Post-Impressionist artist Paul Cezanne once praised Camille Pissarro (1830-1903) as 'the first Impressionist painter.' A central figure in the formation of this art movement, Pissarro was the only artist to show in all eight of the formative Impressionist exhibitions held between 1874 and 1886, striving consistently to uphold its ideals and practices. As Cezanne admitted, that 'humble and colossal' Pissarro was a founder of Impressionism and one of its most faithful representatives in many ways. Pissarro's career in art spanned the Barbizon school to Impressionism, representing many of the main trends in modern painting of the nineteenth century. Not only is he mentioned together with such Impressionist masters as Monet and Degas, he was also revered by many other young mentors and friends who would later go on to fame. Such artists as Cezanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and even the young Matisse all came under his guidance or influence at one time or another.
The works on exhibit in Camille Pissarro, Family and Friends come from the collection of the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Oxford in England. The Ashmolean Museum is home to the most complete set of drawings and watercolours by Pissarro in the world. This exhibit focuses on Pissarro's oil paintings, drawings, prints, and letters, but it also includes works by three of his painter-sons--Lucien, Felix, and Ludovic-Rodolphe--and by his granddaughter Orovida. To put Camille Pissarro's achievements and influence in the wider perspective of nineteenth-century French art, representative works by Barbizon painters and Pissarro's fellow Impressionists have also been selected for exhibit. Always with an open mind, Pissarro in more than forty years as an artist also absorbed ideas and techniques of other artists, adding his own innovations that led to several shifts in style over his career. This special exhibition is divided into three main themes--"Pissarro and Landscape," "Pissarro and Rural Life," and "The Pissarro Family," presenting an overview of major developments in the life and art of the Impressionist patriarch Camille Pissarro.
