22. February - 1. June 2008

MEISTERINNEN DES LICHTS

The exceptional paintings of Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, and Marie Bracquemond, moved four celebrated female authors to compose fascinating and empathetic short stories based on the women’s experiences. They absorb us into the lives and minds of these artists—the pioneers of a new and dynamic view of women.

WOMEN IMPRESSIONISTS

There were quite a number of professional female artists in the second half of the nineteenth century: The works by Berthe Morisot, a central figure in the Impressionist movement; Mary Cassatt, a very independent artist and a respected colleague of Degas’s; Eva Gonzalès, one of Manet’s most talented pupils; and Marie Bracquemond, whose small oeuvre is of the highest quality—reflect their various lives and experiences as women. This publication contains many unfamiliar and surprising images, waiting to be discovered.
