Morisot PAINTINGS
AtPhiIIips Gallery
By Florence S. Berrymon

Despite the persecution and
derision aroused by the i'm
pressionists in their efforts to
gain recognition, and the rev.
dictionary implications of
their innovations, their paint
ings seem to us today idyllic
in their serene and sunny in
terpretations of France in the
latter 18th century. Many
years ago an English critic
called impressionism "the
lyric poetry of pictorial art,
a sweet song following the
Byronic epics Of Delacroix and
Gericault."
The Phillips Gallery is now
showing an exhibition of
paintings by Berthe Morisot
and Her Circle" which has
the intimate charm one would
expect Of works dealing
largely with the artists own
family. It is composed Of 80
works from the collection of
Nine. Ernest Rouart Of Paris,
the artists only daughter, who
lent them for a years tour Of
North American museums,
beginning in Toronto last
September. Following the
Phillips showing (through
June 14) it will go to San
Francisco and Portland.
Organized Own Show
Berthe Morisot was the only
woman among the seven
painters who, unable to ex-
hibit with the Paris Salon,
organized in 1874 the private
exhibition which stirred the
angry storm and earned them
their name. She lived at, a
time when women painters
were uncommon. But despite
her orthodox. conservative
background of a cultured
family and traditional educa-
ton, she had a masculine pas
sion for art, and began to
study painting at Is. Corot,
her second master, turned her
talent to the open air.
In 1868, she became &C
quainted with Manet and
through him, the Impression
lists. She shared their rebel
lion against academic ideas.
But she had the wisdom to
pursue her own light touch
and feminine gift, instead of
trying to initiate her stronger
associates.
She devoted her talents
largely to the painting of young
women and girls, often in the
open air, sometimes in sunny
interiors. The Phillips eXhi-
bition has 20 paintings by her,
in nine Of which her daughter
appears, alone or with others,
including her father. Berthe
MoriSot also painted her sis
ter, her nieces and young mod
els.
Seven paintings by Manet
bear witness to her admira-
ton for his work. Monet, Rem
DIR and Degas are represented
by one painting each. Besides
the Renoir double portrait of
Berthe Morisot and her daugh-
ter illustrated above), there
are two other portraits of Ber-
the MoriSot: The earliest by
Manet, done in 1874, the year
she married his younger
brother Eugene, the second, a
self-portrait eleven or twelve
years later. They depict her as
a pretty woman whose vitality
is her most arresting charac-
teriStic.

The Obelisk Gallery, 3241

one-man show Of paintings

are so fantastic per sc, that
artists who habitually utilize
actual subjects as a mere point
Of departure for abstraction,
give up the struggle when con-
fronted with the circus, and
paint it much as they see it.
Such, at least, is the conclu-
sion after visiting the Mart'S
circus"
More than 80 oils, drawings,
prints and sculptures interpret
a wide variety of circus
themes. The city Of tents is
depicted subdued, in grayed
colors, by Mary Snow. bright

Kane. Lois Jones' cheerful

L. Wells sturdy "Carousel" are

Pietro Lazzari's classic
horses, incised into polychrome
cement, with a bareback rider,
and Katherine Hobbs Lippi-
zaner and other gaily bedecked
horses, do justice to these i'm
portant features.
James Cupoli's etching Of a
"Trapeze Artist" shows the
performer spotlighted in a
strong design of diagonal lights
and tent poles. Evelyn Wynne
shows both a painting and an
etching of the Midway Whirl."
