Description

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was the most celebrated and well connected European woman painter of her time. This selected correspondence reveals a highly intelligent woman, filled with self-doubt, berated by her mother for her "selfishness, '' yet persisting in her total immersion in her art. Close friends with Manet, Degas and Mallarme, Morisot married Manet's brother and shared ideas with colleagues who included Cassatt, Monet, Renoir and Pissarro. The letters, edited by Morisot's grandson, were first published in England in 1957.
