family

Yvon Pissarro is the son of the painter Paul Émile Pissarro and his second wife Yvonne, née Beaupel. He is the grandson of the "father of impressionism ", Camille Pissarro . His siblings are the painter Hugues Claude Pissarro and Véra Savary. The name of his first wife is Laura Carti, with whom he fathered their daughter Maya, his second wife is Elisabeth Garcia.

Life

Yvon Pissarro spent the first eight years of his life in Norman Switzerland on the Orne River , which runs through the valley next to the towns of Clécy and Le Vey , where the Jewish family had sought refuge from the Second World War . Here his father had set up a studio in a houseboat - a converted rowing boat - in the garden of his house on the banks of the Orne and had lively contact with numerous artist friends.

Yvon showed his independent spirit from an early age. As a teenager he rebelled against his parents, who - worried about his future - tried to steer his career on a stable and safe path, whereupon he left the family home for Paris and studied drawing and art history at the Académie Julian there . In addition, he attended a city evening school, where he could further develop his artistic and manual skills. He earned his living doing odd jobs and short-lived jobs.

During his military service he made friends with the poet James Sacré . After his discharge from the military, he returned to his parents' house. There he produced around fifteen woodcuts with his father's engraving press for a book of poetry by James Sacré entitled La transparence du Pronom 'Elle' . At this point he decided to give up his surname, which was considered a burden, and chose the pseudonym Vey , after a nearby little town where his older brother Hugues had rented a house. He then spent several consecutive summers with his cousin Orovida Camille Pissarro in London, where he spent more time in museums than in the school where the English language was taught. He also spent some time in Italy, where he dealt with the landscapes, the cities and their works of art in his drawings.

In Nice in 1971 he joined a group of draftsmen under the direction of Dany Bloch , who, as curator of the Musée d'art moderne de la Ville de Paris, put the resulting works together for an exhibition. Due to family reasons, Yvon had to take a break from drawing for more than a decade. He then left Nice and now lives in a village near Montpellier , where he continues to devote himself to his art.
