AIS Mourns the Loss of AIS Master Camille Przewodek “It is with great sadness that we share with you the loss last night of AIS Master Camille Przewodek, a master impressionist painter, teacher, mentor, and friend to so many of our members. Camille embodied everything that the American Impressionist Society is all about.”

Who Was Camille Przewodek?

Camille studied painting with master colorist Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art in Provincetown. In 1981, Henry Hensche [1901-1992] “opened my eyes” by introducing me to Monet’s impressionist tradition of seeing and painting color with the influence of light. Hensche, who had assisted famed American Impressionist Charles Hawthorne [1872-1930] at the Cape School of Art, changed the way I perceived shadows, which were no longer dark shapes but were filled with color., Camille wrote.

Camille served as an Awards Judge at AIS 3rd Annual Impressions: Small Works Showcase at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey, Michigan in 2019. Camille taught a workshop, provided a painting demo, and was an inspiration to all. Camille was the winner of the PleinAir Salon art competition this year, which was one of her biggest goals.
