Berthe Morisot [Paperback]

Of the six Impressionist painters whose first exhibition scandalized and fascinated Paris in 1874, Berthe Morisot was the only woman. She reached a pinnacle of artistic achievement despite the restraints society placed on her sex, adroitly combining her artistic ambitions with a rewarding family life. Anne Higonnet brings fully to life an accomplished artist and her world.

Anne Higonnetis Associate Professor of Art History at Wellesley College and the author ofBerthe Morisot's Images of Women(1992).
