Berthe Morisot - A Biography (Paperback)

Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) produced nearly 900 paintings and was the only woman among the original six Impressionists whose first group exhibition scandalized most of Paris. Higonnet draws on the artist's unpublished diaries and letters to create not only a portrait of a remarkable woman but also vivid portrayls of feminine culture in the late 19th century.
