A Cowherd at Valhermeil Auvers sur Oise

1874. This time, Pissarro was alone. Cezanne had left for the south. The two of them painted together for two years in Auvers-sur-Oise. Only a decade between them, but Pissarro was the mentor and Cezanne the rebel student. Under his guidance, painting outdoors became a habit, and color entered Cezanne's world. Thanks to Cezanne, Pissarro went more geometrical, more structured. They stayed friends all their lives.
