The Number 1

You're climbing the stairs at 35 Boulevard des Capucines. It's April 1874. You paid your one franc at the door. You add 0.5 and grab the catalogue. Number 1. Le Verger. An orchard. By someone called Pissarro. Trees. Dirt. White blossoms. Two workers somewhere in the back. Just an orchard on a spring morning. The guy next to you laughs. You've read the critics. "Wallpaper in its early stages." "An insult to honest work." Someone coined a word as a joke. Impressionists. They meant it to sting. Do you laugh too? 🛒 Get it here: https://art.ecoartlab.store/products/frame-tv-art-pissarro-impression
