Georges Manzana-Pissarro - Bridge at Saint Cloud Under Snow [1905]


Georges Henri Manzana-Pissaro (Louveciennes, 1871 – Menton, 1961) was a French artist and the third child of Impressionist Camille Pissarro. Initially, he painted at his father's side, where he learned not only to handle brush and pencil but also to observe and to love nature. As a young man he painted a series of landscapes around Pontoise and Eragny in an Impressionist style which he adopted from his father. His most important exhibition during his career was in 1914 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs where he exhibited 311 works including tapestries, carpets, furniture, glassware, decorative paintings, etchings and lithographs.
