Morisot’s art provides a window into the social changes of Bourgeois women in the 19th C & their evolving gain in autonomy. She died, sadly, before women got the vote. Little Girls At Window (1892), Two Nymphs (1892), Jeanne Pontillon (1893) & On the Balcony (1893)

Academics dismissed Morisot until recently. They viewed her work as sentimental, thus allowing their own preconceptions to colour their (male) view. Woman in Black (1878), A Summers Day (1879), Women Picking Flowers (1879) & Young Woman Dressed for the Ball (1879)

Morisot’s philosophy was to paint light & dissolve colour into component parts for the eye to mix. Critics have described this as feathery brushstrokes but that is to miss her goal. The Psyche Mirror (1876), Woman with a Fan (1876), Tureen & Apple (1877) & Summer (1878)

Critics have sought to categorise her work into periods. A woman of Morisot’s ability does not fit into boxes, however, so such straitjackets are best avoided. Aboard a Yacht (1875), Eugène Manet on the Isle of Wight (1875), Dahlias (c1876) & Still Life (1876)

In the early 1870s Morisot explored the use of watercolours. Watercolour allowed her to complete studies quickly & with chromatic vivacity. Young Woman (1871), On the Balcony (1872), The Artist’s Sister & Niece (1872) & The Cradle (1872)

Morisot visited the Louvre to copy as part of her ‘finishing’ & met Corot, Monet & Manet there. Corot introduced her (1860) to painting ‘en plein air’ & to the immediacy of observation & depiction. She continued to train under artists until 1864. Copy of Veronese (1858)
