Phaidon Press Limited
Berthe Morisot Description: The French nineteenth-century woman painter Berthe Morisot 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 colleagues Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas. This book considers her work in the context of the artistic and social debates of the time.
