Berthe
Morisot was born in Bourges, France into a family of wealth
and culture. Her father was a high ranking civil servant.
Berthe was introducted to Edouard Manet, whom she greatly
admired. Although Manet was had a strong influence on
her work, she soon developed a distinctive style of her
own.
Her style, in turn, influenced his painting. Morisot married
Manet's brother Eugene in December, 1874. By 1885 she
had begun to hold regular soirees for friends that were
artists or writers, including Mallarmé. Morisot
exhibited regularly at the Salon, and at all the Impressionist
exhibitions except for 1879. Morisot took part in the
innovations of the Impressionists from the beginning and
she remained faithful up to the last group exhibition
in 1886.
