On the hottest days, the eye looks for shade. In "The Wash House of Bazincourt", Pissarro gives it exactly that: green water, deep tree shadows and a quiet figure by the bank with a cow beside her. No drama, just the cool silence of summer near still water. Pissarro was 70 when he painted it, with failing eyesight and years of eye trouble behind him. Still, he kept returning to this corner of Normandy. The greens and grey-blues do more than describe the scene - they make the air feel cooler. Quelle: meisterdrucke.com
