Marval Movie

She was known throughout her life as a "woman artist". Nonetheless, Berthe Morisot ran with the big boys in the world of impressionism, garnered respect, and broke glass ceilings before such a term was used.

This exhibition of her work at the Dallas Museum of Art is very thorough and stunning in its presentation. The seventy two paintings are hung in themes - leisure and plenty, mothers with children, seascapes, and life in general. Her skill  is masterful. As a matter of fact,  her husband Eugene Manet (brother of  artist Eduoard Manet) gave up his artistic career to manage hers.

The colors, brushstrokes, and vision are apparent. I've been to the museum twice and appreciated these paintings. They are lovely.

Alas she died from pneumonia at the age of 54, but her work lives on and is getting greater appreciation by museums with retrospectives of her career.
