Camille Pissarro is recognized among Jewish contributors to Arts & Literature — Founding Impressionist painter and mentor to younger Impressionists (a key figure, not sole 'father')
Camille Pissarro was a founding Impressionist, the only painter to exhibit in all eight Impressionist exhibitions from 1874, and a generous mentor to younger artists such as Cézanne and Gauguin. Born on St. Thomas into a Sephardic Jewish family, he settled in France. His steady influence and teaching made him a pivotal figure in the movement.
