- Why it is considered the first female impressionist?
In mid-April 1874 in the studio photographer Nadar exhibition, literally blew the artistic life of Paris. Thirty young artists exhibited 165 works, so different from those that are accustomed to French connoisseurs of painting. Around a new direction, called Impressionism, immediately there is a ferocious debate. rewashing bone young rebels from painting, newspapermen did not fail to note that among them there was also a woman, Berthe Morisot, and the representative from a reputable and respectable bourgeois family. Then she remembered her grandfather, a famous French painter Jean-Honore Fragonard, who, according to newspaper men, was to roll over in his grave on the extravagant antics of his granddaughter.
- Even people who knew Burt could not immediately assess its innovative way of painting.Joseph Guichard, who has studied the basics of painting Burt, described in a letter to her mother, his impressions of the exhibition: "When I walked in, my dear Madame Morisot, I was seized with a feeling of depression at the sight of your daughter's work in this unhealthy environment ... If you look in good faith, then, of course, you can find somewhere other than work, but all of them in one way or another is not quite normal. Miss Bertha, too, was a victim of this insanity, she went astray a few brains ...». Despite this rejection of her art, Berthe Morisot with the chosen path is not turned off, and soon the time will put everything in its place, forever inscribing her name in the history of Impressionism. Bertha (Berthe Morisot) was born in January 14, 1841 in Bourges, where her father was the high post of prefect. The girl received an excellent education. Even as a child she and her sister became involved Edmoy painting. Soon the usual art classes have ceased to meet Bert, she just turned this level.

Corot, not only began to give advice to Bertha, to closely monitor its emergence as an artist, but also became a friend of her family, which caused even gossip, famous as the master of reticence and unsociable. pupil did not disappoint the veteran teacher, her success in art was evident. Bertha took over much of Coro, especially the ability to send in pictures of the play of light and distinctive style of landscape painting. Already in 1864, a few landscapes of Bertha, who was only 23 years old, were exhibited at the Salon, and if it has not yet been recognized, a clear path to it.

Cooperation with the salon she stopped herself when close consorted with a circle of young artists, keen to experiment with color. It was a close friend of Edouard Manet, enthusiastically refers not only to paintings of Bertha, but also to itself. Man has created more than a dozen portraits of Berthe, but when she married his younger brother Eugene, write it stopped. And it all happened in the opening year of the famous exhibition. It is worth noting that the painting Bertha still differ from that of other founders of impressionism, in her notes were lyrical and even sentimental, consonant with the painting of previous eras. Unlike most of the Impressionists, who wrote small strokes with a clear separation of colors, Morisot preferred to write broader free strokes, using the traditional techniques of color mixing. By the way, this way of painting used and Manet.
