Hugues Claude Pissarro, is a post-impressionist painter, the son of Paulemile Pissarro and the grandson of the famous French Impressionist Camille Pissarro. He, like many of the other children of the French Impressionists, was and immersed in an artistic universe. Hence, he was no stranger to overpowering personalities and influences that populated his childhood. He was afforded and took advantages of his environment and the experiences that were lavished upon him by his father and Grandfather. Pissarro was forever enjoying artistic outings with his father and many of the celebrated artist of the day.
Pissarro had his first exhibition at 14 after receiving his initial tutoring from his father. He then attended Ecole du Musée du Louvre and Ecole Normale Supérieur, giving him the credentials for his career in education and in 1965 he accepted a position to teach art in Monaco.
Although Hugues has received accolades for his abstract, minimalist and conceptual art, he is best appreciated for his Post-Impressionist-works, AKA petit Claude. He attempted to escape “Petite Claude” by creating “Grand Claude”, hence the new identity “Isaac Pomié”. This was to showcase his departure from Impressionism and started his contemporary period, featuring the thick and speedy application of copious amounts of paint to large canvases, the work is then finished after the paint has dried by sculpting away some of the paint.
He contributes to artistic publications and chooses a life of isolation in France and occasionally Ireland.
