Book Description

October 2002
Cette jeune femme en noir, au bouquet de violettes, aux yeux profonds, que peint Manet dans les années 1870, c'est Berthe Morisot. Elle garde sur son visage altier comme un secret. Un modèle parmi d'autres ? Non : la seule femme du groupe des Impressionnistes. Berthe Morisot, née dans la province française en 1841, fille de préfet, peint et expose parmi ce clan d'hommes, ceux qui sont encore des réprouvés sans public, des réfractaires à l'art officiel : Manet, Degas, Monet, Renoir. Ardente mais ténébreuse, douce mais passionnée, aimant la vie de famille mais modèle et amie - et qui sait ? peut-être davantage - d'Édouard Manet dont elle épouse le frère : il y a une énigme dans les silences et les ombres de Berthe Morisot.
Dominique Bona, puisant aux archives inédites, fait tournoyer la fresque de l'Impressionnisme : de Giverny aux plages normandes, de Mallarmé rédigeant des billets doux pour Méry Laurent ou Nina de Callias aux lavandières qui posent pour Renoir, de la sanglante Commune de Paris au règne de la bourgeoisie corsetée, des salles du Louvre aux ateliers de la Bohème.
Dominique Bona peint ici le portrait subtil d'une artiste qui inventa sa liberté.


Dominique Bona est à la fois romancière et biographe. Elle est l'auteur des Yeux noirs, d'un Stefan Zweig, et chez Grasset du Manuscrit de Port-Ébène (Prix Renaudot, 1998).

5.0 out of 5 stars THE ONLY IMPRESSIONIST WOMAN, May 11, 2003
By 
ALAIN ROBERT (ST-HUBERT,QUÉBEC) - See all my reviews
DOMINIQUE BONA has produced a fine portrait of this woman who was the only représentant of her sex among the impressionists.BERTHE MORISOT had a close relationship with EDOUARD MANET(she married his brother EUGENE).Along the way,the book lets you know the other artists of this movement:MONET,DEGAS,RENOIR etc.The struggles of their acceptance is well documented.Nowadays,the litterature about the impressionist school is abondant.After all,this was the beginning of modern art.DOMINIQUE BONA is a gifted writer who wrote other biographies and a few novels.
