Berthe Morisot
"The French nineteenth-century painter Berthe Morisot was held by her contemporaries to the the 'quintessential Impressionist'. She was an influential member of the Impressionist group, whose exhibitions she organized with her colleagues, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Degas.

According to Harrison, the strongest motivation for writing about art is that it brings us closer to that which is other than ourselves. In ...

At a young age, Yoakum (1891-1972) traveled the globe with numerous circuses; he later served in a segregated noncombat regiment during World War I before settling in Chicago. There, inspired by a dream, he began his artistic career at age seventy-one, producing some two thousand drawings over a decade.
