Abstract

The French nineteenth-century woman painter Berthe Morisot was held by her contemporaries to be the 'quintessential Impressionist'. She was an influential member of the Impressionist group, whose exhibitions she organized with her colleagues Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. Although a member of an upper middle-class family, Morisot refused to accept the prevailing idea in such circles that for women art was merely a suitable accomplishment. The authors examine how she was able to turn the limitations that her background, education and gender imposed on her as an artist to advantage : the need to be chaperoned, the restrictions of subject-matter thought appropriate for women, the implications of her identity as a woman for the way that her work was perceived by contemporary critics. This book considers her work in the context of the artistic and social debates of the time. It discusses the meaning that Baudelaire's famous dictum to paint 'the heroism of modern life' had for a woman artist painting in the changing city of Paris — a very different city from the Paris of her male colleagues
