Berthe Morisot: The Impressionist painter

Exhibition

Berthe Morisot (Bourges, 1841-Paris, 1895) has been one of the most important female artists of the nineteenth century. It was the first woman who joined the Impressionist movement.

Berthe Morisot was engaged to paint from an early age. Born into a family of French gentry, was able to combine in an exemplary manner the taste for art and music with its role as modern and active woman, great cultural cheerleader.

Model and friend of Manet, married his brother Eugène, and ally-impressionist painters such as Degas, Renoir, Monet and Pissarro, with whom he exhibited in nearly all their shows, and admired by intellectuals of the stature of Mallarme or Valery Morisot played an essential role and development of French Impressionism.

The exhibition "Berthe Morisot. The impressionist painter" is housed in the Museum Thyssen Bornemisza in Madrid until February 12, presents a selection of works from the author, for the most part, Marmottan Monet Museum in Paris along with other several authors such as Degas, Boudin, Renoir and Monet from the Thyssen-Bornemisza. The exhibition becomes important not only for being the first monographic exhibition dedicated to the artist in Spain, but also because of the retrospective offers regarding their shape, biography and the chance to meet their most intimate and personal.

Both the sensitivity of the landscape that Corot taught as the mastery of his portraits, he learned from Manet, impressionist representation or gardens, rural scenes and home interiors, allow to know the highlights of his paintings.

With a painting introspective, even melancholy, quick strokes, which sometimes take the lightness of watercolor, Morisot introduces us in his own privacy, exploring the delicate femininity. The representation of women was an intimate world as permanent subject in his work that the writer Paul Valéry said that his painting would be "a woman's diary expressed through color and design." Hence most of his paintings focus on the everyday lives of women in the French gentry in the late nineteenth century.
