Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was one of only a handful of women who exhibited both at the famed Paris Salon and with the French Impressionists. Her work depicts the world of the Parisian bourgeoisie: their clothes, their life-styles, their surroundings, and their relationships. Over one hundred full-color paintings, graphic works, watercolors, and pastels are reproduced in this volume, and are accompanied by original commentaries that follow the artist's career from her training with Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot to her final work. Included in the volume is an essay that Morisot wrote about her nephew-in-law Paul Valéry in 1948-2014;a seminal text that has never been included in his collected works 2014;as well as extensive correspondence and sketchbooks held at the Musée Marmottan Monet, which have rarely been accessible.. - Overzicht van het werk van de impressionistische Franse schilderes (1841-1895).
