This exhibition of her work at the Dallas Museum of Art is very thorough and stunning in its presentation. The seventy two paintings are hung in themes - leisure and plenty, mothers with children, seascapes, and life in general. Her skill is masterful. As a matter of fact, her husband Eugene Manet (brother of artist Eduoard Manet) gave up his artistic career to manage hers.
The colors, brushstrokes, and vision are apparent. I've been to the museum twice and appreciated these paintings. They are lovely.
Alas she died from pneumonia at the age of 54, but her work lives on and is getting greater appreciation by museums with retrospectives of her career.
Sounds like a wonderful exhibit. How sad that she died at such a young age.
ReplyDeleteindeed. Her work is fantastic and she could have done so much more

DeleteWow, the one with the baby and sheer sheet is amazing. I love the fact that her husband gave up his career to manage hers. Sounds like true love. Shame she died so young.
ReplyDeleteand he was a worthy artist, but recognized that she was so much better.
