About Armand Guillaumin
Born Jean-Baptiste Armand Guillaumin (1841-1927) in Paris, France. Armand was a French landscape painter and lithographer who was a close friend of the painter Camille Pissarro. One of the more impoverished members of his artistic circle, Guillaumin was obliged in 1872 to take a post with the department of bridges and causeways. It was not until 1892, when he won 100,000 francs in a city lottery, that he was able to give up his government job and paint full-time.
