Sun in Cancer trine Cyllarus (artistic work that comes from full expression, such as painting with the hands, musical skill, culinary ability (helped establish a collective society of fifteen aspiring artists, becoming the "pivotal" figure in holding the group together)) in Scorpio. Mercury in Gemini square & Uranus in Aquarius sesquiquadrate Echeclus (conceptual theories, spatial relations (they began to reject the dark tones of the typical salon painting and came to the viewpoint that light was more important than form)) in Virgo.
"I remember that, although I was full of fervour, I didn't have the slightest inkling, even at forty, of the deeper side to the movement we were pursuing by instinct. It was in the air!"
Camille Pissarro (10 July 1830 – 13 November 1903) was a Danish-French Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painter born on the island of St Thomas (now in the US Virgin Islands, but then in the Danish West Indies). His importance resides in his contributions to both Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Pissarro studied from great forerunners, including Gustave Courbet and Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. He later studied and worked alongside Georges Seurat and Paul Signac when he took on the Neo-Impressionist style at the age of 54.
