Curator Conversation: Behind "The Honest Eye"

Join Clarisse Fava-Piz, Claire Durand-Ruel Snollaerts, and Nerina Santorius, co-curators of "The Honest Eye: Camille Pissarro’s Impressionism," for a conversation offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of this groundbreaking exhibition.

The curators will share insights into Pissarro’s life and legacy, from his Caribbean roots to his pivotal role in shaping the Impressionist movement, and discuss how they brought together more than 80 works from around the world to present the first major U.S. retrospective of Pissarro in over 40 years. Learn how curatorial decisions, research, and Pissarro’s own letters informed the exhibition’s themes, narrative, and design.

Ticket required, discount for members, FREE for students and Museum Friends.

"Pissarro's Impressionism" is on view at the DAM from October 26, 2025 through February 8, 2026.
