Berthe Morisot ( Bourges, France; January 14 of 1841 - Paris; March 2 of 1895), painter Impressionist French.
Born in Bourges, in the bosom of a bourgeois family, it was his family who encouraged her sister Berthe and Edma to start in the art. Morisot demonstrated the potential of women in the arts at the end of nineteenth century .
At the age of 20 years, Berthe Morisot met Camille Corot, a leading landscape architect of the Barbizon School . He admitted it and brought his pupil in art circles.
soon acquired the impressionist technique of painting outdoors, where small paintings and sketches created for large works that ended in the study. His first participation in the Paris Motor Show was 1864 two continued to show landscapes in the Salon until 1874 , year of the first Impressionist exhibition, in which I participate with Cradle .
In 1868, met Édouard Manet and 1874 married Eugène Manet, his younger brother. She was convinced the teacher of painting outdoors and was attracted to the group of painters who became known as the Impressionists. Manet, however, never considered himself an impressionist, nor agreed to show with the group.
Morisot with Camille Pissarro were the only two painters who had pictures on all original Impressionist exhibitions.
As Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès or Marie Bracquemond , Berthe Morisot was relegated to the category of "female artists" for its theme of everyday life (women, children and domestic scenes.) However, as a doctrine sent impressionist, Morisot painted immediacy, what he saw in his everyday life. As a woman of the gentry, was accustomed to domestic scenes, country sports and a wide circle of women and children, as the male world was vetoed them.
Without exception, his pictures show a few themes equivalent to that of their male colleagues. Edgar Degas, too bourgeois class, painting tests ballet, horse racing and female nudes. Claude Monet painted his garden, his children, etc.. Women Impressionists painted their social environment under the Impressionist approach. Despite this, the figure of Berthe Morisot, together with other masterpieces of painting, was overshadowed by the movement as a whole and especially male painters. Morisot The technique developed is based on a treatment of mild strokes from the beginning to evolve to a more expressive impressionist brushwork, particularly from 1873, when the treatment free of brush strokes and flat and fast treated atmosphere to allow color reflect Impressionist aesthetic in nature.
From 1880, the influence of Renoir is reflected in his work. The bright freshness of his palette, the bill free and vigorous, as well as the poetic atmosphere of his paintings are recognized and admired. In 1892 Boussod-Valadon Gallery dedicates an exhibition that was a great success.
Berthe Morisot's life was overshadowed by the death of Édouard Manet in 1883, the her husband, Eugene Manet, in 1892, and his sister. Raised her daughter alone, Julie Manet, who always maintained strong ties. When he died at fifty and four years, entrusted his daughter to her friends, Edgar Degas and Stéphane Mallarmé.
Berthe Morisot died on March 2, 1895 in Paris and is buried in the Passy Cemetery in Paris .
Today, his paintings can reach numbers of more than $ 4 million.
