Berthe Morisot by Anne Higonnet
A focused art-historical biography that traces the artist’s development from a cultivated bourgeois upbringing to a central yet often underrecognized role in the Impressionist movement, examining her distinctive brushwork, luminous handling of color, and recurring subjects of domestic life, children, and intimate female experience; the book juxtaposes close readings of paintings and pastels with archival materials—letters, exhibition histories, and contemporary criticism—to show how social expectations for women shaped her career and reception, and it reassesses her technical innovations and influence so as to restore her importance alongside her better-known male contemporaries.
