Berthe Morisot: Impressionist Innovator

Presented by Joanne Rhymer

With her innovative use of colour, fluid brushwork, and attention to fleeting moments of daily life, Berthe Morisot stands as a defining figure of French Impressionism. Her experimental approach challenged academic conventions, creating a visual language of light, immediacy, and atmosphere. Beyond their surface beauty, her paintings convey deeper meanings. By examining a selection of works, we will see how, in negotiating her bourgeois upbringing and position as a woman artist, she reveals women’s inner emotional and psychological worlds. Our exploration will reveal how her luminous works capture the subtle complexities of life and female experience in 19th-century Paris.
