Book Overview
The French nineteenth-century painter Berthe Morisot (1841-95) 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 fellow artists Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. A landmark tome in this field, this book considers Morisot's work in the context of the artistic and social milieu of the time. It explores the meaning of Baudelaire's famous dictum - to paint 'the heroism of modern life' - for a woman artist painting in the changing city of Paris: a very different city from the Paris of her male colleagues.

Beware of Last Minute Book Switch
Published by Lorna M , 10 days ago
I can’t make a review because I never got the same book I ordered. This was the book I specifically ordered because I love this cover painting of berthe Morisot. Instead I got another book I didn’t order also from the same artist. It’s not a good customer service for your company to switch books if they’re out of stock. And this is not the first time, they also switched another book ( same artist but different book). Maybe they’re thinking customers won’t check!
