Ludovic-Rodolphe Pissarro (1878-1952) said Ludovic Rodo is the fourth son of Camille and Julie Pissarro. Like his brothers Lucien, Georges, Félix and Paulémile, Ludovic Rodo was drawn into the family's artistic effervescence from a very young age.
In 1894, he joined his father in Belgium, who had taken refuge there following the arrests of anarchists in France. From Knokke, with his brothers Lucien and Félix, he visited Zeeland in the company of Théo Van Rysselberghe. In 1895, taking advantage of the advice of Maximilien Luce, who was staying with his father in Éragny-sur-Epte, he began to learn wood engraving. Throughout his life, he produced engravings, drawings, and caricatures for numerous magazines and left-wing newspapers in both France and England. Between 1898 and 1903, he lived and worked regularly alongside his father, who alternated between Éragny-sur-Epte, Paris, and the Normandy ports. Ludovic Rodo then began countless journeys throughout France and Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and England). He then settled in Montmartre in a studio he shared for a time with his brother Georges. He then produced numerous woodcuts, etchings, watercolors and paintings of Parisian life, elegant women and cabaret scenes, in a vein sometimes influenced by the Fauvism of his friend Kees Van Dongen.
His two hundred and twenty sketchbooks, preserved at the Camille-Pissarro Museum, reveal his talents. Inks, colored pencils, watercolors, retrace his travels, and through caricatures, his artistic friendships. We find him with his family on the Normandy coast, in Dieppe and Berneval, then with Francis Picabia and his brother Georges Manzana in Moret or Martigues, with his friends from Maurice Asselin's entourage in Brittany, as well as in London, where he met his brothers again. Many faces thus emerge throughout the pages: Paul Durand-Ruel, Georges Braque, Othon Friesz, Charles Madvig, Jacques Vaillant, Armand Guillaumin, William Thornley, Maurice Asselin, Pierre Mac Orlan, Alcide Le Beau, Guillaume Apollinaire, Henri Le Fauconnier, Albert Marquet, Charles Camoin...
He participated in the Independents for the first time in 1904. In London, where he would often stay - notably throughout the First World War - he founded the Monarro Group with his brothers in 1919. During the last years of his life, he devoted himself to the first catalogues raisonnés of his father's work, that of the engravings and then that of the paintings.
