Berthe Morisot, the Correspondence with Her Family and Friends
Increasing attention is being paid to Berthe Morisot (1841-1895), one of the original band of French Impressionists. The letters published in this volume are a candid reflection of the lives and artists of the period. First-hand accounts of exhibitions and their artists are illuminated in Morisot's correspondence with her friends: Manet, Degas, Mallarmé, Monet and Renoir.
