20 Year Anniversary Celebration: H. Claude Pissarro
We first represented Hugues Claude Pissarro (born ) in June and
with this online exhibition, we celebrate our 20th anniversary of working
with this wonderful artist.
Son of Paulémile and grandson of Camille Pissarro, H. Claude’s work

most collectable subject. Occasionally he is tempted by Venice or London,
two cities he loves.
