Hugues Pissarro dit Pomié
biography
He held his first exhibition at the age of fourteen and later studied at prestigious Parisian institutions, including the École Normale Supérieure, followed by training in art restoration under Henri Linard at the Musée du Louvre. This academic grounding led him into teaching, and in 1963 he accepted an invitation to teach art in Monaco while continuing to paint prolifically.
H. Claude Pissarro has worked across a wide range of mediums and styles, as a painter, engraver, lithographer and portraitist, and was commissioned in 1959 to paint President Dwight D. Eisenhower. His artistic evolution has been notably varied: figurative work in the 1960s, conceptual and minimalist phases in the 1970s, and a return to figurative painting in the 1980s under the pseudonym Hugues Pissarro dit Pomié. Works signed Pomié are often more abstract, frequently larger in scale and marked by sweeping gestures and expressive colour, capturing the atmosphere and dramatic landscape of Ireland where he later settled.
From the 1990s onwards his subjects have centred on Normandy, Arromanches and Ireland, reflecting his close connection to the environments in which he lived. His work has been widely exhibited in museums, galleries and international art shows, and even into advanced age he has remained active, dedicated to painting as both craft and lifelong pursuit.
