Lucien Camille Pissarro, son of Camille Pissarro. He grew up in France, except for the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, when the family was in London. He stayed in london in 1883 and met Esther Bensusan, then aged 13. In 1884, he was again in London, followed by Eragny, Normandy, where his family had moved. He showed paintings in 1886, in Paris. Pissarro studied wood-engraving and, in November 1890, moved to london due to the popularity of wood-engraving in the Arts and Crafts movement. He married Esther Bensusan, now 20, at Richmond. The marriage registration shows Lucien's nationality to be Danish, and his wife's maiden name reflects their Jewish religion. Their daughter was born in 1893. Though people were interested in his impressionism he favoured illustration and printing. In 1894 he set up the Eragny Press at his home in Epping in essex, moving to Stamford Brook, West London, in 1902. He closed the Eragny Press in 1914. Having suffered three strokes, his painting also suffered. He made a last trip with his father to leHavre. In 1904, he began exhibiting in england with the New English Art Club with walter sickert. However, he came to dislike the new english art and it's artists. In March 1914, he exhibited with Carfax of St James. Carfax later handled the works of Gwen John and Hampton Wick artist, Katie Blackmore, who was a late member of the Glasgow School of women painters. Pissarro later formed the retrogressive Monarro group (monet pissarro). In 1916, he took on British nationality. He sold some landscapes, re-creating his father's style. In 1940, he moved to Dorset, possibly to escape the heavy bombing. His daughter, Orovida, rejected the family style.
