The Queen of the Fishes: Plate 2

Lucien Pissarro was a French-British painter and printmaker who worked in divisionism and post-impressionist modes, inheriting and extending the chromatic theories of his father, Camille Pissarro. He founded the Eragny Press in 1894, producing hand-printed books with woodcut illustrations that merged fine art with craft production. His paintings employed small, deliberate brushstrokes and luminous color relationships, applied to landscapes and domestic scenes across England and France. Pissarro remained committed to anarchist principles throughout his practice, viewing art-making as inseparable from social philosophy.
