]]> Comment on Berthe Morisot: An Impressionist in The Garden by Donald Shankoff http://philipsgardenblog.com/2008/07/17/berthe-morisot-an-impressionist-in-the-garden/#comment-25832 Donald Shankoff Fri, 02 Apr 2010 22:02:06 +0000 http://philipsgardenblog.com/2008/07/17/berthe-morisot-an-impressionist-in-the-garden/#comment-25832 I have read a few books on Manet and must say that his life does not seem to have been a joy. He married young, but was not enchanted with his wife. Although not officially recorded he seemed to have had a number of etramarital affairs not to mention encounters with courtesans too numerous to mention. Strangely, his closest professional associate Degas seemed to have been asexual. Although he used Berthe Morisot as a model numerous times she was always chaperoned by her mother. This definetely was a case of unrequited love, When Manet painted his portrait of Eva Gonzalez Berthe became extremely jealous. Both Berthe and her sister studied with Corot. However, Berthe was anxious to see what Edouard thought of her painting. When she showed him a painting, he asked what she painted and she said I paint what I see. To this Manet responded, Is that all you see? Berthe ended up marrying Edouard's brother Eugene while Edouard died of syphilis just when his career was beginning to blossom. Morisot much like Cassatt or for that matter one of the finest Baroque style animal artists of all time Rosa Bonheur have not garnered nearly the attention of some of their less gifted male counterparts.
