Imens i livet hos Berthe Morisot
Hele livet1887–1895
Squaring and tracing paper: the synthesis of her last years
Morisot starts to use squaring and tracing paper to transcribe her drawings exactly onto the canvas, which lets her build compositions with more complicated interaction between figures. Her late works are distinctive for their synthesis of the Impressionist touch with broad strokes and light reflections and the graphic approach of clear lines.
1888–1889
From short strokes to long, sinuous ones
In 1888–89 Morisot's brushstrokes change from short, rapid ones to long, sinuous ones that define form; the outer edges of her paintings are often left unfinished, so that the canvas shows through and increases the sense of spontaneity.
1890
“No man has ever treated a woman as an equal”
In 1890 Morisot writes in a notebook about her struggle to be taken seriously as an artist: she does not think there has ever been a man who treated a woman as an equal, and that is all she would have asked for, since she knows she is worth as much as they are.
1892
The first solo exhibition
In 1892, after almost two decades of showing in group exhibitions, Morisot's first solo exhibition is held.
1892
Her husband Eugène Manet dies
