- This output merges two published articles. Both offer analyses of 'Turpitudes sociales', an album of thirty pen-and-ink drawings made by Camille Pissarro in 1889. These two 5,000-word essays tackle linked themes in the interpretation of Pissarro’s album. The first explores their imagery’s engagement with contemporary politics and caricature as well as the tensions between Pissarro’s anarchist ideology and his bourgeois family. The second analyses the apparent contradiction between his anarchist drawings and contemporary anti-Semitic imagery. Together, the articles present detailed documentary analysis of the close engagement of an Impressionist artist with radical ideologies and their caricatural imagery.
