This video was so pleasant to watch!! I remember one of my art history professors always made an effort to include women who had been ignored into the lectures and Morrissot was their favourte one
Just wanted to say I really enjoy your short but informative method of reviewing pieces and artists. Im currently cramming for my art Ed test that I’m having to take sooner than planned and your videos are becoming a backbone to my studying!
Thank you for this wonderful introduction to Berte Morisot. I know that I am late to the party as the saying goes, but your channel has been broadening my horizons and my knowledge.
At the time I did not know of her but as a freshman art student I chose one of Manet's portraits of her to do as a master copy in my painting class. Her work is stunning and I admire her willingness to not cover a canvas as I do the same often.
One of my first visits to a gallery was a large exhibition of Modernist art from Ordrupgaard. Seeing Corot's Windmill and Gaugin's Portrait of a Young Woman are experiences that I cannot forget. The very last section had Morisot's Le corsage rouge. I couldn't stop looking at the painting. The movement of each stroke that encompasses the girl, the odd way the details feel both blurred and so directly real, the beauty of the colors and the emotions in the girl's face. Morisot is the definition of the difference in approach between male impressionists and women. There is no one who treated their subjects the same way as Morisot. The world she saw was just different. And her paintings radiate empathy because of it. A painting of hers which plays with the canvas that I love is Little Girl in a Garden. I wish I could see it one day.
This might be my fav video of yours, I instantly fall in love with these art & she might be the first(I've not seen much of classic art xD) *classic* artist whose work I loved at first sight.
Thank you for thos video on such an important artist, still widely unknown by the general public. I could not agree with you more. This is an important video. I hope at least a few discovered something worth their attention and decide to delve deeper and study this body of art carefully. Many thanks to your efforts with this channel. ❤️🙏
Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt are the two unknown women of impressionism. Great painters indeed. Painting even among the viewerso of painters that dared go against Paris Salon was sexist.
I was lucky enough to discover Berthe Morisot's paintings at a very young age... The fact that she's not as famous as she should be is probably partly because she was a woman in "a man, man's world", as you state it... but also because she was so close to Manet, Monet and Degas... who were tremendous artists... It's very hard to stand as an artist in front of such great artists as Manet, Monet and Degas.
Great video which puts a name to some of the paintings I’ve seen. Thanks! (Quick note, Isle of Wight is pronounced “Isle of White”, it’s a lovely island if you get the chance to visit.)
How ironic that this video about the lack of recognition that Berthe gets, has neither her name in the title nor in the description. Someone looking her up online may never come across this video smh
If you watched the video attentively, you'd understand why her name isn't in the title nor in the description. When introducing the subject of the video, I show Manet's Balcony with the thought that many people will assume that the man on the balcony is going to be the subject of the video. The goal here is to subvert the kind of sexist assumptions people can casually make. If I write her name in the title, that subversion can't take effect. Also, my goal is to reach the people who don't know of Morisot, not the ones looking her up already (though they are welcomed as well).
I'm not usually a fan of portraiture or people in pictures generally, but for Morisot I make an exception.. Rarely fails to impress or generate a reaction.
Only the least well informed are unfamiliar with Morisot. She's always been highly regarded. I've read that at the height of the Paris Impressionist shows she regularly outsold other now-famous impressionist artists in numbers of works and prices.
trying to be objective here just looking at work itself, hard to really state that she is on the same level as, Monet, Degas, Renoir or even some of the less famous male painters.. lets not put them at a disadvantage because they are men.. but with taste i guess each to their own..

That's cool they seem like a nice person
Really appreciate your effort to show female artists!
The paintings where most of the canvas is exposed almost looks like scenes from a dream you still remember even though you are already awake
your videos always have an incredible quality to them
Thank you so much Valentina! That's very sweet of you!
im both happy to be introduced to her beautiful work and saddened by the fact that ive never seen it before
That quote at the end of the video was absolutely heartbreaking. That message is still being echoed to this day.
The Canvas: BEAUTIFUL, INTRIGUING, MOVING!
Thank you for the great content
No problem! Thank you for the great comment!

Yes! My favorite art movement! Thanks for this quality content
I love this video, ive rewatched this dozens of time.

It's better to be late than not come at all 😊

Thanks you...for the Interview...I live it...forever
Really really great work as always, thank you for the videos you make!
Love it! Would love to find out other artists like this one from other movements, hidden gems of their times, so sad
Brilliant. Thanks for reaching me about Morrisot, it’s time she got her applause!!

Yes really interesting. it's a really unique style. I wish Morisot would have gotten more attention when she was alive too.
Thank you for reminding us of her

love the high quality vids. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Diego!
Morisot was a true drawing and colour master, I think she was the best technician amongst the impressionists
This is Wonderful! Thank You!
To me it feels more like the viewer beeing the objekt that is drawn by her, admired by her daughter.
Beautiful work
Beautiful video, with a powerful message, thank you !

what an incredible and underrated artist
Yay another upload
Yay I love women who painted!!!!
Cool, always like impressionists
Thank you
Really love your videos, I've just binged most of them whilst painting! Also btw the Isle of Wight is just pronounced 'white' but i prefer your way!
HELL YEAH MY GIRL BERTHE
Great video which puts a name to some of the paintings I’ve seen. Thanks! (Quick note, Isle of Wight is pronounced “Isle of White”, it’s a lovely island if you get the chance to visit.)
It is great and beautiful

What about Mary Cassat? The other most famous female Impressionist
Excellent
I'm not usually a fan of portraiture or people in pictures generally, but for Morisot I make an exception.. Rarely fails to impress or generate a reaction.
This dude should ceate a podcast ☹️

I knew her.
👍

modern art is garbage.
You don't have to say Bert or Julie in a ridiculous French accent just because they are french, it is just cringe.
But did you call HER "they" and why being sooo frieking weird. This is not in English., maybe you mistaken the language? @TheCanvas
you overdo the French accent when saying then artists names
French is my first language. I refuse to fake an English accent for the pronunciation of French words.
Yeah no... His French is perfect.
