| 內容簡介： |
A comprehensive, illustrated tribute to the life and works of
the most influential female Impressionist painter. Berthe Morisot
won over the Impressionists with her talent and became the first
woman of the period alongside Monet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, and
Sisley. Morisot''s paintings demonstrate how far ahead of her time
she was when she created them, pioneering a new style of painting.
However, she was underestimated for more than a century--most
probably because she was a woman. This book, a comprehensive
monograph showcasing the life and works of this influential artist,
focusies on the important stages of her career, including her first
participation in the Salon de Paris at the age of twenty-three in
1864. Moreover, the book assesses the significance of the time
certain paintings were created, taking into consideration what was
happening in the artist''s life during that period. For example, in
1874 Berthe married Eugène, Manet''s brother, and gave birth to
their daughter, Julie Manet, who became the subject of many of
Morisot''s subsequent paintings. Berthe Morisot includes personal
correspondence between Morisot and other important figures of the
Impressionist movement, providing unique insight into this
fascinating period. Portraits of her by her fellow artists have
become significant works from the period. Likewise, she was
heralded by the greatest writers of her time; a tribute anthology
of citations from Paul Valéry, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Jean Cocteau
offers an intimate portrait of the artist and her work. This book
is an essential read for any lover of Berthe Morisot''s work, and
indeed for anyone who appreciates the work of the Impressionists.
Her works can be found in: The National Gallery, Washington D.C.,
Cleveland Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, Dallas
Museum of the Arts, The Art Institute Williamstown, Massachusetts,
as well as many other institutions.
