Stolen Pissarro Returned To France
In 1981 a man named Emile Guelton strolled into the Faure Museum in Aix-le-Bains in France and removed a Camille Pissarro monotype from the walls, before placing it under his jacket and walking back out without being caught, somehow managing to smuggle the artwork to the US. A monotype is a print that is made from a painting, and the work in question is Le Marché aux Poissons (The Fish Market) was one of twelve coloured monotypes that the French Impressionist master created during his career.

Pont Boieldieu in Rouen, Rainy Weather
Pont Boieldieu in Rouen, Rainy Weather is a painting that was created by “the dean of Impressionist painters”, Camille Pissarro, during the latter years of his career. Pissarro had helped to create and develop the Impressionist style, had brought it to prominence along side Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Frédéric Bazille and Edgar Degas, and had subsequently left it behind to study Neo-Impressionism alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac. By the 1890s Pissarro had left behind Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism, arguing that the methods were too artificial and that, in his own words, “… It was impossible to be true to be true to my sensations and consequently to render life and movement, impossible to be faithful to the effects, so random and so admirable, of nature, impossible to give an individual character to my drawing, I had to give up.”
