Impressionist family life : Berthe Morisot discovers engraving with Renoir

A student of Corot and a rare female artist who was a member of the Impressionist group, Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) took up engraving to illustrate a book of poems, Le tiroir de laque, at the request of Stéphane Mallarmé in 1887. This project did not come to fruition, but this suite of eight drypoints created between 1888 and 1890 is one of the rare testimonies of Morisot's discovery of engraving alongside Renoir. Less physical than the burin, Renoir chose to initiate his friend to the drypoint technique, which reserves a limited number of prints. Here, the third print out of twenty-five is the guarantee of the best quality. Berthe Morisot, aged over 47, explored an intimate and spontaneous universe full of sensitivity, with her family scenes, her landscapes and her portraits of women and children. Her works no longer seek innovation but assert a certain maturity. The style of these engravings is very close to what Renoir did at the same time, including the portrait of Julie Manet, daughter of Berthe Morisot, kept in the Marmottan Museum in Paris. We find long, vertical forms, and close-ups of bodies and faces. For the artist, it is a question of translating an energy, an impulse or a breath of a model seized on the spot.
