Tasb lecture: Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism

Lecture by Lois Oliver: Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was a central figure in the Impressionist movement that revolutionized modern art with swiftly-brushed images of contemporary life. A core founder member of the group, she participated in all eight Impressionist exhibitions held between 1874 and 1886, apart from the fourth exhibition in 1879 which took place just five months after the birth of her daughter Julie.
While her male colleagues depicted Paris streets, cafés and theatres, Morisot's art reflected her own more restricted experience as an upper-middle-class woman. She never had a studio, preferring instead to capture real lived experience.
This is an in-depth introduction to Morisot's life and art. Lois Oliver curated 'Berthe Morisot: Shaping Impressionism' for Dulwich Picture Gallery, the first major uk exhibition of Morisot's art since 1950.
