Hugues Claude Pissarro is the grandson of Camille Pissarro and son of Paul-Émile Pissarro, born in 1935 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, where he frequently returned with his father on painting excursions. He first exhibited his work at the age of fourteen, and subsequently studied in Paris, evolving through a variety of different styles and techniques, from abstract to avant-garde. He is known by a variety of names including professionally as Isaac Pomié or Hugues Pissarro dit Pomié, and frequently signs his first name simply as “H.” His work has been featured in exhibitions in Europe and the United States, and he was commissioned by the White House in 1959 to paint a portrait of U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower, later teaching art in Monaco, where he continues to divide his time when not painting in Paris.
