Description

Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism is the first major UK exhibition of the renowned Impressionist since 1950. This major publication brings together around 30 of Morisot's most important works from international collections, many never seen before in the UK, to reveal the artist as a trailblazer of the movement.

Through new research and previously unpublished archival material, Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism uncovers a previously untold connection between her work and 18th century culture, while also highlighting the originality of her artistic vision. Highlights include Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight, Berthe Morisot's striking Self-Portrait, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard's Young Woman, alongside nine paintings on loan from the Musée Marmottan Monet.

The book draws on a wealth of new material to reveal the roots of Morisot's inspiration and the ways in which she engaged with 18th century art and culture, setting her apart from her predecessors. A must-have for anyone interested in Impressionist art and the life and work of Berthe Morisot.
