The French nineteenth-century woman painter Berthe Morisot was held by her contemporaries to be the 'quintessential Impressionist'. She was an influential member of the Impressionist group, whose exhibitions she organized with her colleagues Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. This book considers her work in the context of the artistic and social debates of the time. It discusses the meaning that Baudelaire's famous dictum to paint 'the heroism of modern life' had for a woman artist painting in the changing city of Paris -- a very different city from the Paris of her male colleagues.

Berthe Morisot
Berthe Morisot: I will never know enough about Her or Her Compatriots of the same time. I of course am Sad that most teachers never emphasize the study of the relatives of artist. To know she had a daughter and to know so much of the daughter by Her paintings is wondeful! The delicacy, the hardship of being a woman. Even a woman with means and to know how close the sounds of War came. There is so much more to learn. I love the style of this book. The wonderful large plates. It did not skimp on insights from fellow artist of Berthe. I long for more.
5.0 out of 5 stars
