Berthe Morisot: An Interview with Kathleen Adler
- Synopsis
- Kathleem Adler, author of a book on Morisot, is interviewed by Briony Fer. Adler describes the restrictions suffered by a woman artist in Paris in the 1860s and 1870s. The fact of being a woman put restrictions on the places where Morisot could go, and also on the subject matter she might chose to paint. As a painter of the world in which middle-class women like herself lived, her subject matter revolved around life in the suburb of Passy. Morisot’s special interest in the suburban world gives specific meaning to her painting, ‘View from the Trocadero’, which can be seen as representing the relationship between suburb and centre. Her technique was close to the other practitioners of Impressionism, but her subject matter was different and is of special interest to women now.
