Berthe Morisot, Angel of the Unfinished
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Today, few people are familiar with the name and work of Berthe Morisot, one of the founding members of the artists collective known as the Impressionists. Yet Morisot not only exhibited in more Impressionist shows than such famous friends as Monet, Renoir, and Degas, but was lauded by many critics in her time as the most talented in the group and even considered the movement’s leader. What distinguished Morisot’s production from that of her predominantly male cohort was her radical handling of paint that blurs the line between description and abstraction, fixed and fluid, finished and unfinished.
Join Dr. Nicole Myers, Chief Curatorial and Research Officer and the Barbara Thomas Lemmon Senior Curator at the DMA, as she explores the innovations that made Morisot the best Impressionist you’ve never heard of.
