A new addition to the gallery is entitled Le Pont de Vey by Paulemile Pissarro (1884-1972). Paulemile was the fifth & youngest son of Camille Pissarro, born in Eragny close to Giverny, home of his father's closest friend, Claude Monet. He was 19 when his father died. As he grew older, it was to Monet that Paulemile gravitated, adopting him as a father figure, teacher, friend. And it was Monet, as much or more than his father, who was to influence his art as the youngest Pissarro yearned to follow in his father's footsteps. He & his second wife bought a home near Clecy on the Orne River in the area of hills & valleys known as Swiss Normandy. There they raised three children: two sons & a daughter. His oldest son, H. Claude also became a painter. In 1967, Paulemile had his first one-man show in the US at Wally Findlay Galleries in NY, which led to wide recognition & success in this country.
