![]() ![]() ![]() This book showcases the life and works of this influential artist, focusing on the important stages of her career, including her first participation in the Salon de Paris at the age of twenty-three in 1864. However, she was underestimated for more than a century-most probably because she was a woman. Morisot's paintings demonstrate how far ahead of her time she was when she created them, pioneering a new style of painting. Likewise, she was heralded by the greatest writers of her time in this tribute to her, an anthology of citations from Paul Valéry, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Jean Cocteau offers an intimate portrait of the artist and her work. Berthe Morisot won over the Impressionists with her talent and became the first woman of the group alongside Monet, Degas, Renoir, Pissarro, and Sisley. A detailed, illustrated look at the life and works of the most influential female Impressionist painter: Berthe Morisot. ![]()
