Georges MANZANA-PISSARRO (1871-1961) Watercolor and gouache painting with gold and silver highlights, stencil. Georges-Henri Pissarro, better known as Manzana, was born in Louveciennes, the third of Camille Pissarro’s seven children.
He studied with his father from a very early age and, like his brother Lucien, he spent his formative years surrounded by distinguished artists of the Impressionist movement, such as Monet, Cézanne, Renoir and Gauguin, all of whom frequented the Pissarro home. At his father’s side he learnt not only to handle brush and pencil but also to observe and to love nature.
Manzana turned out to be a prolific and versatile artist, producing work in oil, pastel and watercolour. As a young man he adopted his father’s purely Impressionist style and produced a series of landscapes around Pontoise and Eragny. However, around 1906 he progressed beyond that and went in search of other means of expression via the design of furniture and decorative objects.
